Actually, if this worked well, everyone who wants to flat tow their CT could just put it into follow mode and have it follow along behind their RV. Wouldn't that mess up people's brain to see it following very close behind an RV with no one in it. Or if the cop pulled you over and the CT came right along with you. The cop wouldn't be able to get directly behind your RV cause the CT would be in the way.
You must be thinking of ww2 radar….todays radars are much more sophisticated and can even emulate colors as well as clear, crisp, shapes, in addition to typical trajectory information.
No, radar cannot pick out color. It can't read road signs. It doesn't see object shapes the way we do - it sees masses and velocities. To it, a stopped car looks the same as an overpass or signpost or the pavement ahead.
I am not so sure it cannot see shapes? I am under the impression it can see shapes and in 3d just as a single camera can. Processing the data from 2 different positions via a moving source such as the vehicle were the sensors are mounted on. Colors though no.
So $499.99 would not be reasonable?
No. Because the shapes it's seeing are based upon the density of an object. So the plastic on a car is really transparent but the engine is an opaque blob and the windows are no more translucent than aluminum.
Wait?! 6 ply tires? On a truck with 1 3/4 ton payload??????? Seriously? Kevlar or not, that isn't an E load rated tire. All four tires have to divide the load of the CT alone. Then they have to have enough remaining load capacity to accept the payload across the rear tires and all four for towing and handling.
