Super-Radar, Done Dirt Cheap

October 14th, 2003

Celldar is the latest thing: can track moving vehicles in a way similar to radar–even if that vehicle doesn’t have a cell phone inside.

Yet some people are appalled that their cell phone will always give away where they are. That makes it possible to compile a ‘road map’ of a user’s movements. So imagine the outcry when privacy worriers learn that cell-phone systems can be used to locate and track a car, boat, or plane — even if no one inside is carrying a wireless phone. But outcry or not, the technology seems certain to be deployed, given its myriad civilian and military applications.
