Interesting design, especially the 20 GHz oscillator

Great video!  The fellow obviously knows his stuff,  The one question I
have is, Why have a radar inside the cabin?  What does it do?

The last radar I worked on had a 150 foot dish and two frequency
transmitter on 122 and 420 MHz.  The power was 10 and 20 Megawatts and you
had to open a cage and walk into the transmitter to work on it.

There is a lot to get your head around.

Thanks for sharing.

He makes some really great microwave content. I assume the radar is party
of the system that ensures you are at least occasionally looking at the
road if you're in automatic driving mode.
