Just imagine in a few years there will be thousands of devices using lidar in a city. Will that be enough to knock out endless surveillance cameras?

Yep, by the same companies that will bring you _Surveillance Lidar_!

We can call it "Sidar"; play on the word cider, and the logo for the company or brand would be a jar of cider with an eye floating in it.

Wonder if you could knock out speed cameras and red light cameras with this in a way which wouldn't be noticed.

Good to know they claim you can do it with a laser that's not dangerous to the human eye.
