Time for a new radar detector?

LIDAR doesn't seemed to be widely used. I see mostly Ka. A quick search shows that standard RADAR is 65-75%. What areas do you see using LIDAR?

I agree that passive detection is needed now. Highway radar (app) has been quicker than Waze and includes aircraft alerts.

@FLYARMY, my radar detectors have more than paid for themselves and more times than I can count. Waste of money, not IMO, for me. I could care less what others believe and I’ll keep using them as I’m still ticket free and have been for decades. I guess I could just be lucky

In my area, RADAR (ka band) is used the most. Yes, on occasion I see LASER, thus why I keep my head on a swivel (my learnings from my long history of motorcycle riding) and pay attention to my surroundings if I plan to speed. You should not rely on a detector alone.

It’s good to understand what technology is used and how to be prepared. Of course, if you don’t ever speed, I guess you have nothing to worry about…
