The article states:

“Current lidar systems can’t see a black tire, or a person like me wearing black—Velodyne’s [Puck] wouldn’t see a 5- to 10-percent reflective object [30 meters away]. It’s the dark car problem—no one else talks about it!”

How are the current autonomous vehicles from the Google, Uber et al compensating for this shortcoming?

If anyone has some recommendations for learning more about Lidar that they could share I appreciate it.
