I opened the rule book to see what might apply. It turns out that field distubance sensor vehicular systems are allowed, per 15.252, to operate from 24000-29000, but with a maximum EIRP of only -41 dBm. And "Operation shall occur only upon specific activation, such as upon starting the vehicle, changing gears, or engaging a turn signal." So it won't run all the time. This, then, probably isn't what they're using for two-vehicles-away collision avoidance radar. The rules in 15.253 for 77 GHz systems are much looser, and that seems to be where the cars are headed. -- Fred R.
