Make it point backwards too.
I can get behind this. Turn them on as revenge at the lifted truck with headlights right at the level where it makes your rear view mirror unusable if you're in a sedan.
This sounds like lidar with extra steps
I'm not sure what you think lidar is...
Laser that can spin 360 degrees
Why would it need to spin 360 degrees
Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning.
To work both forwards and backwards
That's 180
LIDAR is radar with lasers. You're not using it to blind anyone. It's a way of detecting the physical space around the sensor with a very high degree of accuracy, especially when it comes to distance.
shrug the only thing I have that employs lidar (afaik) is my vacuum robot, which has a warning to not look at the turret at ground level while it's in motion
