As I recall Volvo just introduced one as well.

I can't wait to see what hacks come out of this technology. It's got to be a boon to autonomous vehicle folks. I'm curious as to the frequencies and powers involved in the radars, anyone know about those? How do they keep two Tarusii (the plural of Taurus?) from jamming each other?
