A Felixer feral cat trap is operating in southern Garriwerd, the Grampians in Victoria, Australia. The devices use lidar and an AI model to distinguish cats from native animals, firing a sticky 1080 poison pellet onto detected cats. Feral cats devastate native wildlife and resist conventional trapping and hunting, so people are sharing the technology as a promising conservation tool.

Elon Musk has addressed why Tesla's Robotaxi service is not operating at night, pointing to the difficulty of detecting low-contrast obstacles, such as grey kittens on grey tarmac in the dark. The explanation is drawing attention because cameras need light and contrast, while lidar and radar do not, and Musk once dismissed lidar as 'a fool's errand' in 2019. Critics see the remarks as an implicit concession on Tesla's camera-only approach.
