why not instead give the bundle away to organisers of mass bunch rides?

let the martials ride with the radar units, then all members of the ride just sync their head units to the radar(they can support multiple paired units). thus the entire group all know when a car is approaching from behind, hopefully leading to self regulated rides that are safer for all road users?

Think the next generation needs to integrate a rear view camera with the radar which can be seen on the varia vision, so you have a better idea of what is coming up behind you and not just that there is something approaching.

 

Cool idea by Furbz if the beamed coverage is sufficiently large and wide enough

 

Would like to try the varia vision
