Lidar triggers rain sensor in other cars

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:34 AM PST

I live right by a parking lot used for self-driving car training in San Francisco. I just realized yesterday that when I get near cars using lidar, it triggers my rain sensor, and the wipers start going. I'd noticed it a few times before, but I just made the connection. That seems like an unintended side-effect. Anyone else know anything about this?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I really need some help to find if there exists testbeds (using Remote Controlled cars and not real world deployments) that has V2V connectivity using DSRC/C-V2X. Most of the testbeds that I found (e.g. 1 2 3) work on control/robotics/ML aspects so the V2V connectivity is not important as each vehicle performs all its perception and motion on its own. They still implement it though using other means, and not using DSRC or C-V2X.

There have been plenty of real world deployments but that is not what I am looking for.

The ones that I am looking for should ideally have:

Each car is connected with a DSRC/LTE module that broadcasts it's own location information to all the neighbour vehicles. This is the most important criteria.
The vehicles on receiving the location information of its neighbors, is able to react to avoid collision (this task is mostly done using vision/LIDAR etc. in the above testbeds). If criteria 1 is satisfied, it can be modified for this I believe.
They drive around a fixed track on their own, i.e. similar to the above testbeds, the cars utilize camera or other sensor to drive around the track but doesn't react to neighbor vehicles using the sensor information. The reaction (e.g. reduce speed to avoid colliding) to another vehicle should be on the basis of the information broadcasted as in criteria 1.

I appreciate any inputs as I am still in the early stages of formulating an experiment and welcome any suggestion.
