The Federal Government Wants Cars To Communicate With Eachother To Save Lives
As suggested in the title, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proposed a federal regulation that would require car manufacturers to build safety systems into new vehicles that would communicate wirelessly with the safety systems of other vehicles.
The technology is called “V2V” or “Vehicle to Vehicle” communication. Using robust wireless communicatiosn systems, cars would be able to “communicate” with eachother and possibly with the infrastructure of our roadways.
For example, if there was a car coming to an abrupt stop three cars ahead of you, it would send a wireless signal to every car within range and alert the traffic that they were coming to an abrupt stop. Watch the video here.
Such a system would also come in handy for crossing intersections, which are statistically the most likely areas for car accidents to occur.
Dozens of studies and comments have been made about the issue of V2V technology. On one hand, mandating it for all manufacturers would be burdensome on auto companies who would have to develop and implement the technology. On the other hand, research suggests that V2V has the potential to drastically reduce accidents and traffic fatalities… and hey, it’s better than the other options states have implemented (like traffic cams that automatically ticket you.)
Harmful radio signals?
Martin L. Pall, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences at Washington State University, commented on the rule citing the dangers that V2V radio waves can have on the human body. In his comment he said:
“Your proposal will expose essentially every person in the U.S. to microwave frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that are untested for safety whereas other similar EMFs are known to cause each of the following: oxidative stress, cellular DNA damage, cancer (which undoubtedly is caused, in part by that DNA damage), life threatening cardiac effects including arrhythmias and heart palpitations, massive damage to the nervous system which leads to diverse neuropsychiatric problems and may also lead to very early onset dementias and autism, lowered male and female fertility and increased spontaneous abortions, many different hormonal (that is endocrine) changes and many other changes. All of these occur due to non-thermal exposures but the current safety guidelines are based on these EMFs only producing thermal (that is heating) effects. My own research has shown that these EMFs act via activating voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) and that what are called downstream effects of VGCC activation can produce each of the health impacts listed above. My own research has also shown that the voltage sensor which controls the VGCCs is extraordinarily sensitive to forces produced by low intensity EMFs, such that the current safety guidelines allow us to be exposed to EMFs that are approximately 7.2 million times too high. Currently no devices putting out such EMFs are tested biologically for safety. Industry assures us of safety based on a theory that had been shown to be false over 40 years ago.
Your proposal is assuredly unsafe and probably massively unsafe. To claim this as a safety standard is unacceptable.”
Pall has been studying EMF waves for his entire career and cites many of his own studies that conclude EMF’s cause depression, cancer, and other horrible diseases and disorders.
