  1. @dgndfh – they could catch up with it and toss it out! Again car maxes out
    at 25 – 30 mph. And there is no trunk, anyone would see the bomb. No room
    under the hood (have you ever looked at one?) there are a lot of batteries,
    even in gas powered golf cars.

  2. Absolutely wrong. It is calculated for safety by threshold. A “safe level”.
    Multiply that by the numbers of “safe” devices packed together and you are
    way over the safe level threshold now.

  3. If all cars had this and you densely packed the highways with these cars.
    You would give all the people cancer from all the wireless and radar waves
    reflecting off of everything like pinball.

  4. Instead of using a Google ChromeBook for this, he uses an Apple MacBook for
    this. Haha!

  5. Love it – to “dgndfh”, since a golf car goes 25 – 30 MPH (max., not
    designed for speed), don’t see the weapons potential. The frame is metal,
    bodies usually fiberglass (lighterweight, more energy efficient). I would
    think if you are sophisticated enough to create a driver-less car, you can
    figure out how to make it safe.

  6. @akirafactor Care to link me to some studies that definitively show a
    positive link between non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation and cancer
    risk? I don’t want dumb sites that talk about alleged results of studies…
    show me the text of the reports. Every study I’ve read about
    electromagnetic radiation and its effects upon the human body ever only
    came up with one definitive answer: the only effect is dielectric heating,
    which does not have long-term effects unless an immediate burn is caused.

  7. @dgndfh ANY technology can be weaponized. With transportation technologies
    this is especially true. Almost all transportation technologies can be
    adapted into weapon technologies, and vice versa. The “Nuclear Orion”
    project is a good example of this truism. Just a fact of life

  8. @fishersauntd You mean “these are not LAWS that lend themselves to
    weaponry”. It’s not a technological limitation. (sorry i know it’s
    pedantic, it’s just a pet peave – what with all the “electric cars are for
    faggots” Jeremy Clarkson clones)

  9. @AndreR241 As I said, EMP for the win. You zero-day these ECU’s in range
    and watch the cars crash because no one has their hands on the wheels as
    back-ups.

  10. @dgndfh – Some technology it would not be cost effective. A golf car maxes
    out at 25 – 30 MPH (by federal law), most dogs and cats could out run. This
    is not a technology that lends itself to weaponry.

  11. @TheSaltyJohnson Do your own legwork. Tissue heating is just one effect,
    the harmless one. DNA strand breakage isn’t even addressed. A botched DNA
    strand repair in the growth control section of DNA = Cancer.

  12. 1. The safety thresholds are based upon body temperature elevation, not
    carcinogenic effects. 2. The car relies more on LIDAR (lasers) and its
    camera than it does on radar. 3. We’re already bombarded from so many
    sources by radio waves (cell phones+towers, radio stations, wifi, GPS, etc
    etc) that I doubt this would make much of a difference in exposure levels
    anyway.

  13. They can make a self driving fleet of cars but they can’t seem to get a
    decent mic. Odd.

  14. What do you mean “do your own legwork”? I’m not a biologist, doctor, or
    expert in the radiocommunications field… the only legwork I can do is by
    reading studies published by researchers who ARE experts in the relevant
    fields. Non-ionizing radiation has absolutely no effect on chemical bonds.
    None. DNA mutations (with regards to radiation) are caused by external
    manipulation of chemical bonds… which can only be accomplished by
    ionizing radiation. Microwaves are non-ionizing. Case closed.
