Question Distronic and LIDAR/Laser Guns

Hi

I am curious how the LIDAR/Laser Guns work or don't work trying to catch the incoming car with distronic.

Also if anyone there from the other side (cops?).

Any feedback?

are you saying that distronic is like a laser jammer?

The question is that I don't think it works exaclty as laser jammer but since it is a laser gun - how does it affect LIDAR/Laser Gun readings?

I thought distronic works on RADAR and not LASER?

I think Nissan's version uses LASER.

the disctronic will not have any effect on lidar or radar because you are not shifting or jamming the signal. here is info on lidar

I was told that the Distronic uses a Dopler radar, same as used for weather reporting. This information was told to a group of us at a MBCA meeting at a local dealer.

Yup. Distronic uses Radar NOT laser.
