How does Waymo handle it now? There are many videos of Waymo depots with dozens of cars not running into each other.

Lidar critics like to pretend that anti-collision is not a well-studied branch of Computer Science and telecoms. Wifi, Ethernet and cellphones all work well simultaneously, despite participants all sharing the same physical medium.

I'm not a Lidar critic. I'm really just curious how they're addressing it, or plan to.
