NameError: name 'DistanceSensorData' is not defined

I tried to implement the getDistanceSensorData(lidar_name, vehicle_name) method but I received the following error.

NameError: name 'DistanceSensorData' is not defined

Trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Path/to/my/project.py", line 399, in

return DistanceSensorData.from_msgpack(self.client.call('getDistanceSensorData', distance_sensor_name, vehicle_name))
NameError: name 'DistanceSensorData' is not defined

I tried to find the DistanceSensorData class but couldn't find it. Has anyone faced a similar issue? And if so, how did you resolve it?
Any help is much appreciated

Is there any update on this issue?

I was able to fix this by adding the following code the the types file.

AirSim\PythonClient\airsim\types.py

Add:

class DistanceSensorData(MsgpackMixin):
time_stamp = np.uint64(0)
distance = Quaternionr()
min_distance = Quaternionr()
max_distance = Quaternionr()
relative_pose = Pose()
