That is still important for safety reasons in case someone uses a LiDAR jamming system to try to force you into an accident.

It’s way easier to “jam” a camera with bright light than a lidar, which uses both narrow band optical filters and pulsed signals with filters to detect that temporal sequence. If I were an adversary, going after cameras is way way easier.

If somebody wants to hurt you while you are traveling in a car, there are simpler ways.
