Ever wonder what it’s like to film a Lidar scanner? Spoiler alert: it’s not quite as fun as trying to take a selfie in front of the Grand Canyon. In a recent adventure that *definitely* should’ve been seen to be believed (but also maybe not), a Volvo EX90 put the iPhone 16 Pro Max to an unintentional test like only tech braggarts could.
As Jalopnik pointed out, filming a Lidar scanner is akin to staring directly at a supernova—eye-watering brightness that leaves your camera sensor feeling like it just got a fierce wedgie.
Sure, Lidar’s effects on cameras aren’t breaking news, but with more cars sprouting these scanners like they’re the latest must-have accessory, this little debacle is a friendly reminder: not every spectacular tech moment is meant for Instagram. You should definitely leave your camera at home when you’re trying to capture the future of driving and turn it into a technological slip-up meme instead.
So next time you want to demonstrate your flashy new ride, think twice. Your phone may just end up as crispy as your favorite summer BBQ—only this time, the flame isn’t even delicious!
