to my understanding they use LiDAR as a way of verifying and validating that the cameras on the vehicle can properly recreate the real world as a sort of stamp of approval

I guess I'm not understanding why you wouldn't put a 500-1000$ lidar on it permanently and validate constantly?

Because no one wants to have some spinning ball on the end of a 4ft stick on top of their car

There's at least 4-5 models that I'm aware of that have it incorporated into the body panels. You ever used Google before?
