Indeed....
Sir, my own company, Upstart, is assisting iKubu in testing the market, by means of threads such as these, so not just to sell, but to gauge interest, and gain feedback. My real name is Carinus Lemmer.
My background is racing, at high levels, within our national context, during the last quarter of the previous century.
I rely on my ears, and so does my 13-year old son. He did so from a young age, which I only discovered after expressing my concern for him not 'checking' - the way my over-protective instinct wanted him to.
At present, the unit offers a range in excess of 100m, measuring relative speed, giving me time to react - again, like ears, and eyes, with a second or so to spare - I have used this device plenty, lately, and a small number of riders in our hometown of Stellenbosch are also trying it out.
Direction has not been addressed to the extent that it is 100% accurate, so, no, it only informs of the general approach of the vehicle.
It carries info on 3 vehicles per any timeframe, and treats pantechnicons and other big trucks as 3 vehicles.
No, it is not improving on one's ears - I'd say it is additional to my sensory capabilities - as a matter of fact, just like telescopes and windows, it lets us see what we normally can not.
Agreed with your point on licensing - we are not there yet, in our country, at all!
Noted, all of your comments, with pleasure - first bit of comment of depth, coming from this forum.
