A LIDAR sensor is a complex device with spinning motors, mirrors, lasers and more. Costs are coming down and less-expensive and more capable devices are coming to market. Once the price-points come way down, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tesla reconsider their decision to exclude them from their sensor platform.


They are also fairly power-hungry from what I heard.


There are also solid state LIDARs these days which involve no moving parts. Still use more power than radar though.
