I saw Cute Orca mention this and I thought that can't be true so I checked it out myself:

It's true, smart bidet in China these days are equipped with LIDAR to detect you're coming and automatically flip the lid into your preferred position for you. Can do that foam thing too where if it detects you're doing a poo it covers the surface of the water with a layer of foam to avoid splashback.

I already knew China is ahead in LIDAR and so all the self driving cars use it unlike Tesla and that's the main difference between self driving in China vs Tesla right? Tesla wants to do range detection purely based on graphics processing with multiple video streams. Where as LIDAR has gone cheap enough in China that it's evidently been used for toilet in addition to cars.
The Toto Neorest has the proximity open and premist of the toilet bowl, but it is also $5000 US, probably more now with inflation.
