Maybe cut out the "car" because what if a van or truck passes by?!

And it really is more of a measurement device than a detector. The car is there one way or another, it's measuring the speed of it.

Maybe a "Linux Speed Measurer" however that starts to sound like it's related to measuring the speed of your OS.

Maybe "Linux-based External Object Speed Measurer"

How about "Object speed measured by image processing (extracted from video input)" or osmbipefvi for short....

What about "YAM" - Yet Another Measurer?

Alas, that story about a bypassing Harrier locking its missiles to a speed radar is not true.

Wow. Reading that story annoyed me. Someone really wrote that with all of those obvious inaccuracies in it and someone actually believed it? THen I remember that people share shit 10x worse than this on FB and I got sad instead of annoyed.

Someone please educate someone. Please. lol

Well, at least that Harrier story was somehow good-natured, and not just uneducated filth like the glyphosate thing.

That's true!

That said, the image I linked specifically named Glyphosate while the story you posted appears to be saying that it wasn't Glyphosate, it was the co-formulants that are a problem, unless I'm misunderstanding?
