BTW with self-driving cars, what happens when there are hundreds of Lidar signals at one intersection?
There's no way a sensor can tell if a signal was from its own origin?
Guessing any signal should be treated as untrusted until verified somehow
but I suspect coders won't be doing that unless it's easy
Can lidar be purchased for hobbyist use yet?
Check out PiLIDAR for one of many options:

Depends on your budget and the resolution you need.
E.g Livox mid 360 https://store.dji.com/en/product/livox-mid-360
