I live in town, and walk past countless stopped and moving cars every day.
I also know how the tech industry makes decisions about safety and responsibility (hahaha...). And I have seen some of the recent changes that automakers have somehow slipped past safety regulators. So it seems foolish to trust any of them on this safety issue.
Do we all have to move to rural areas, if we want to be able to go outside without wearing laser safety goggles?
If you find anything, please let me know. The least obtrusive option I've found is this Zeiss lens coating ("Thermo Force") which claims to block 90% of IR "between 780 and 2000 nm", which covers the NIR used in both types of lidar. It only seems to be available as part of sunglasses though.
Hm the ones I can find have a heavy green reflex and their optical density seems about twice or thrice what you'd need for a 1W CW laser. Maybe it's unavoidable given the closeness of near IR and deep red, but I wonder if there exists glasses with a cutoff sharp enough and reduced OD so as to not result in noticeable color shift.
Time to make a sunglasses and window tint company specifically formulating their products to shield from these kinds of lasers.
