That looked like a Lexus with its insignia blacked out, so I'm guessing it was a custom build. But if you want a car that comes with LIDAR, look at the Volvo EX90.

Not in use yet on the EX90, just collecting data...

>Lidar equipped on early production vehicles will begin in data collection mode and over time the technological capabilities of the lidar will expand to include additional sensing scenarios as part of our Safe Space Technology, including the ability to detect objects in darkness at highway speeds up to 820 feet ahead.

GM is working on it, but no indication yet when the lidwr version will be released. Currently their Super Cruise uses radar and cameras, plus pre-scanned lidar maps of roads that it compares everything against in real time.

Volvo EX90 has the sensor, but it is not active.

If you get a 2020(19?) model 3 you get the proximity radar as well.

Since it could be misleading without this info: radar has been removed from newer model years.

Polestar 3 is the only car with lidar in the US that I know of.

Not yet...
