Frees up space for a dashcam instead. I do see how some peoples’ driving routines can still benefit for radar detectors though.
radar detectors are still relevant. I use waze all of the time. Waze relies on crowd sourcing.... I'd say it shows about 50% of police since it won't show if no one has reported it. And half the alerts are false (the cop is no longer there).

Soooo...... what's the best detector on the market?
