New Radar Emitting Vehicles for use with parking/cruise-control/lane-assist..Illegal?

[SupraSkylineSTI]

Just a quick thought.

I was thinking about how active radar jammers work the other day, and they essentially just send out radar at certain frequencies in hoping of "jamming" the police radar equipment. Isn't parking/cruise-control/lane-assist the same thing? How the hell can these kinds of things be legal, but radar jammers not?

They transmit low-power signals that do not exactly or intentionally match any particular police radar gun's frequencies -- K band radar guns work perfectly fine in the presence of such systems. It takes a lot more than just transmitting within the range of K band to jam police radar.

It's the intent that matters.
