stupidFugger··on Volvo EX90's Lidar Laser Sensor Will Fry Your Phone's Camera
Correct! It is absorbed by your cornea, lens, iris. It burns those things instead. No big deal.

Because your eyes are insensitive to the light, your iris does not contract meaning more light gets in that would otherwise.

What?! Just because you cant see it, doesn't mean it isnt burning your eyes! IR lasers can be incredibly dangerous for this reason.
