First off I would like to say I am an electrical engineering student that is almost to his associates degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. Before someone comes in and moderates this just to castrate me.
Here is a logical question from an engineering stance, and my point of view knowing the things I do of computer technology, and circuitry limitations.
1. How is any lidar jammer ever completely immune to the DragonEye lidar. If the device is field updateable via USB interface also known as universal serial bus connection to any computer nationwide..
What does this mean for you the user who just spent 700+ Dollars on a new lidar jamming device?
2. You might be immune today but what about tomorrow when that update is released from Dragon Tech?
3. How is any one jammer better at jamming the Dragon on this level than another?
4. How can we go around claiming that it's worth the extra 500+ Dollars for Anti Laser Priority when this is a certainty?
Here is a situation. Now please pay attention. Because this could transpire to any one of us on this board.
1. You've planned a roadtrip out west.
2. You do your latest updates on ALP.
3. You leave your home ALP in hand, "Thinking" I have the latest updates.
4. Your ALP CPU is then reinterfaced with the rest of the hardwired unit in your automobile.
5. You leave home with a smile on face thinking that everything is grand and any encountered lidar shouldn't be a deal breaker.
6. As your driving down your development to the highway unannounced to you officer Mike Oconner is checking his email via web at the beginning of his shift.
7. Officer Mike Oconner notices an email from Dragon Tech inc. from GA.
8. Officer Mike Oconner opens said email where there is a link to a download attachment for a new update to his Laser Ally lidar software.
9. Officer Mike Oconner downloads said update.
10. Officer Mike Oconner plugs in his Laser Ally Lidar via USB serial connection to his laptop in his cruiser and sync's the new software to the lidar unit.
11. Your driving about 11+ PSL along route I-90 around the Chicago area, when your ALP fails to alert.
12. You notice quickly the officer is holding a Lidar, that looks like a Laser Ally.
13. Not 3 minutes later Officer Mike Oconner is tapping at your window asking that famous question, "Do you know why I am pulling you over today?"
Now lets take some things into consideration here ok.
1. I am well aware of that ALP, Blinder HP-905, and Laser Interceptor LI have usb updatablity as well.
2. The problem with this updateablity is how are we to know the exact moment a Laser Ally update is released?
3. The answer I am sure we don't catch them, "Right away."
4. This is a major problem in thinking that just because you have updateablity your, "Safe."
5. Also i would presume that unless you have direct access and someone monitoring the releases consistently every day there is going to be a missed update sooner or later. "Not good."
6. Or what I have personally noticed many companies doing is they update their software once someone receives a ticket and complains. Because let's admit updateing to that level would be highly costly and I highly doubt that's being done.
7. Also, on this note. Let's consider past instances with Cheeta C50, or Navalert, or even Escorts Trinity database, and Lidar jammers update schedules. They at times can take a month to months to update their databases. This is a vast problem.
Therefore I would be likely inclined to state the following:
"Unless the Antilaser Priority has some new hardware advancement that allows it to generically block any algorithum seen that it needs to jam so that attempting phase shift, or pulse rate variation software is rendered serviceable. It would perhaps not be in the best regard to claim only one unit is capable, or a contender. Rather this unit is simply just as fallible as any other on the market to this type of inadequacy. Likewise unless there is some noted software improvement that is a startling revelation, or hardware revelation in this industry I believe this to be an absolute sales ploy."
