Inspired by the various radar detectors and speeding ticket posts.
We have factory GPS satellite navigation, bluetooth, SYNC, etc. You can upgrade sound systems, spec built in entertainment systems with dvd players, etc.
And yet, there is no factory install for radar/laser detectors. In fact, there is no effort at all in marketing cars that are less prone to speeding tickets which is a multi-billion dollar cost to drivers everywhere.
Aftermarket can be a good alternative. You have laser shifters, multiple antennae radar detectors, etc. that are an acceptable solution, though most people still use a stand-alone windshield mounted detector.
Think about how much more a manufacturer can do.
*In addition to integrating radar/laser detectors at the factory (very low cost):
*Radar/laser absorbent paint+ reflective body panels. (relatively low cost)
*Electrically charge the exterior skin, similar to the B2. (probably expensive)
*Modular upgrade system, similar to a DIN sized stereo head unit. This allows the owner to upgrade to a laser jammer with a faster processor, or install aftermarket radar jammers that can radiate more wattage or jam multiple frequencies at the same time. (Due to FCC regulations, the manufacturer would not be able to install radar jammers at point of sale.)
-If you look at the vast amount of products available in the aftermarket, manufacturers can surely see there is a significant demand for counter measures against police radar/laser. Yet to date, not one has offered any of these features for the buyer...
