To my understanding LIDAR is still really young, and for the most part is only made to complete the task of autonomously driving a vehicle. I wouldn't be surprised if Google already knew this, and it wasn't particularly a concern at this stage of development.

I don't know much about LIDAR, but apparently it's used in a lot of applications. I would agree with both you and the author of the quick article though, that automakers are aware of the drawbacks of their systems and are working on them. After the whole article about the hacked Jeep that came out the other month, they're probably starting to realize that they need to step up the security of their systems.
