I agree. I haven’t used one since about 10 years ago as I have a boxful of old V1 and Escort models collecting dust. I just use waze via carplay and a good helping of attentiveness and instinct. Much more effective for my kind of daily driving. Even on road trips I don’t bother with radar. In remote areas, waze obviously doesn’t work as well, in which case I just tone down the highway speeding.

Frees up space for a dashcam instead. I do see how some peoples’ driving routines can still benefit for radar detectors though.
