Does google pod cars set off the ALP?

I'll have to try clocking one.

I'm guessing, but I'd suspect it might be more prone to interfere with older fixed rate LIDARs than newer or VPR units.

I suspect that anything which throws LIDAR pulses will probably trigger the jam indicator on various DALA/DET guns, even if they don't actually cause a jam. But the turret seems to spin pretty rapidly and probably only throw a couple pulses your way. That combined with the reflections are probably enough to trigger a poliscan alert, but I doubt it'll do much more than that.

Will await your reports. IF it interferes w/LIDARs, it could be a way to get rid of this system

How so? Nobody cares if anything jams LIDAR guns. It would have to present a safety risk by actually jamming LCC or CAS.

@BestRadarDetectors: Would you be interested getting some logs from the Google cars to see if the ALPs can be programmed to filter them out? I might be able to get a friend to drive one while I log with my ALPs.

If you want but if its laser is spinning at the same speed of Poliscan it might not be possible. Filtering on the ALP is really tight as it is. Are you running the Poliscan filter on?

Yes, and I don't have falsing issues. But I'm curious about what the pulse rate of those things is. At some point those Google cars are going to drive where Poliscans are used, or Poliscans are going to be brought to an area where the Google cars are driven. Then what?

If it happens to be the same pulse rate then you deal with false alerts.. If they are different they can be filtered. Poliscan is something that is difficult to detect quick enough and usually fractions of a second matter so you cant filter much more on it without risking a Poliscan live hit from getting through.

There has to be something you can do to filter out stuff with the same pulse rate. For example, you can look at pulse duration in addition to pulse rate. It is highly unlikely that the duration and rate of two distinct devices would both be the same.
