Which outcome occurs when a LIDAR sensor array in autonomous vehicle experiences rain fade?

💡 Explanation

Rain fade attenuates the strength of the LIDAR's signals, weakening return reflections; signal processing fails because attenuated returns are harder to distinguish. Therefore detection range understandably contracts, rather than create phantom objects under normal clear conditions.
