Modern automobiles and transportation infrastructure are introducing active sensor modalities such as radar and lidar at an unprecedented rate. In the visual spectrum, the interference

caused by the production, reflection, and sensing of light is understood very well. This understanding informs the current practices for construction (avoiding mirrors or blinding lights which may impact drivers), active interference between cars (low-beam/high-beam), and environmental factors (dusk, white-out snow conditions). Modern automobiles rely on the lidar and radar as primary sensory inputs. However, the similar constraints on construction, active interference, and environmental factors are not well understood. This paper presents both the theoretical and experimental results of examining the topics of construction, active interference, and worse-case environmental factors for the LIDAR and radar sensor modalities.
