IMO, if it's more dangerous or damaging for people to point cameras at your product than it is to point them directly at the Sun, you should be liable for any resulting damage.

So far the reaction is "don't point your camera at my lidar", which should be "don't point your lidar at my camera, or eyes".

This is one of those things where we know the technology is harmful but it takes a couple of decades of (eye) damage to get legislation to wake up and regulate it or ban it outright.


That's what I was trying to say, so I agree with you. (Did it sound like I was saying the opposite?)
