Please don't. I am firmly against being blasted with microwaves for seemingly no good reason. If cars can't operate without poisoning every living thing around them, then good riddance. Mind boggling shit

I hope you realise that all the phone signals and radio waves are already all around you, and that just by existing near computers, you're being blasted with GHz frequencies.
Just because microwaves can cook food when in a specialised container and with very high amplitude waves, does not make the radio waves harmful

Very low levels of radiation are harmless, and a little higher can save the lives of people with cancer. So it's all good, want higher levels?
Seriously, we don't need more radiation in our environment, microwaves are aleady harming insects.

Thanks. I am so sick of the "harmless to humans" trope.

I'd much rather be blasted with tiny amounts of microwaves than the disgusting soot current cars make.
These radars could save lives.

Staying home and being locked down by a straight jacket could save lives too.

Yeah but radars are cheap mass produced tech that requires no lifestyle changes in practical terms(Although some may be bothered philosophically by their car being able to override them to prevent a crash).
