The reasons to think it’s actually true is because:
1. Only companies who have LiDAR in their stack have shown fully autonomous driving i.e. driverless.
2. Better 3D scene construction, which LiDAR, unquestionably provides permeates as an advantage throughout the stack.
I do think “LiDAR or not” is a narrow argument. But the advantages are massive and undeniable, so it becomes necessary especially in light of rapidly falling costs.
