Radar love.

Can you see me now? That’s what everyone stuck behind the winning Corvette C6.R race car at last month’s 12 Hours of Sebring was asking. It’s hard to sneak up on Corvette these days as it has a new secret weapon on board: a Pratt & Miller rear-view radar camera system that gives the driver a heads-up on approaching traffic, even in blind spots and it doesn’t matter whether it’s dark out or raining. The rear-facing radar sensor can track up to 32 objects and shows different colors and symbols on the rear-view screen that lets the driver see what’s behind him, how close they are, their closing speeds and even the approaching vehicle’s racing class. A green marker means the car behind is falling back, yellow means it’s moving at the same speed  and red indicates the car is closing in and about to pass, with a blinking arrow indicating on which side it’ll pass. If you see an extra line in the marker, that’s showing you that the computer thinks the vehicle coming up behind is of a faster class. I guess there really is nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
