Cobra iRadar is a new iPhone accessory that appears to allow its owners to drive recklessly, and avoid speeding tickets.
The device, which currently retails for $169.95, scans the road ahead for speed and red light cameras, as well as speed traps. By Bluetooth linking Cobra iRadar with their iPhone (and launching Cobra's free iOS app), users can view information about their route on their handset (see above image).
Besides scanning for cameras and speed traps, Cobra iRadar also alerts users when they're travelling along a dangerous road. Here's what Cobra has to say about its creation:
Welcome to the future of Radar Detection. Cobra iRadar combines industry leading radar/laser detection technology with the power of the iPhone. Connect to iRadar using your phone's Bluetooth connection to view radar alerts, control settings, log alert history, and be warned of upcoming speed and redlight cameras. iRadar is the most innovative, technologically advanced, and user-friendly detector device ever created.As TUAW notes, this could indeed be the "perfect Christmas gift" for someone in your family.
