    If you force them to spend hundreds to thousands installing a LIDAR system in each vehicle why can’t they get that money back?

    Enforcing traffic laws would be the cheaper solution

        The US auto sector is experiencing record profits? Since when did that start? There was a blip during covid but most have been down since 2008 or so.
