So with the short range of current detectors ( no time to slow down) and laser and LIDAR, then why even waste the money on them.

so unless a radar detector works 100% of the time in all situations it is a waste of money? 
my x50 has saved me from a number of radar traps. i got the warning before a bend, slowed down, saw the leo when i came around the bend, smiled and went on my way unmolested. the savings in insurance alone makes it worth it.
now it didn't save me from the ticket when i got tagged with lidar, but i don't have a jammer, and never expected it to save me in those situations. 
a smart driver with a good detector can get a ton of value from it.
