Wow this is a fairly harsh reply to the parent. Their point was merely that LIDAR is already a known thing; you would say “Apple adopted the term GPS for their location device” either. Why would anyone need to “adopt” a term that’s industry standard?
I agree that it’s not as if the author claims that Apple invented the term, but asserting the parent lacks “basic reading comprehension skills” is a bit mean, don’t you think?

Mean? No, I don’t think so. Finish reading the article before jumping to make a comment that is contradicted by the article itself.

You are claiming that being verbally abusive in response to a correct claim is justifiable as long as the author eventually wrote something that may be itself derived from the same correct claim.
More concisely: you're way out of line here and doubling down is pushing you further over it

But since when does using a known word for it's intended meaning is adopting ? It's just the right word. They did not adopt the word camera for their camera, it is what it is.
It says adopted, not invented or created. If you continued reading for two more paragraphs you would have read the author say that the auto industry has also adopted lidar. Is the author implying that the auto industry has also invented lidar?!?
It’s not even close to insinuating that Apple invented lidar. And this article isn’t from Apple, anyway.
