quite plausible though. The Lidar sensor is suppose to scan the area ahead for other vehicles in slow-moving traffic at speeds of up to 30km/h. It's suppose to capture 15 images and scan 50 times a second and calculate whether the traffic is slowing or has stopped. So if it's not able to decide/decode with those images and yet still be working the error code given is a pretty good reasoning, just a shame that it's fooled by reflection/s, which shows it's weakness, interesting...
