LIDAR is about the self-driving technology. The illumination of the road is about the operator being able to react quickly. Agreed about the impact of the moon relative to streetlights, but OP does have a good point simply in regards to proactively addressing any pushback.
It wasn't pushback. It was a reasonable line of argument where the second video claimed the accident occured (in the much less illuminated area after the stop light).
Wish I had read this before I made my edits to the two original posts.
