Evading the long arm of the law, as everyone knows, is infinitely easier with a radar detector onboard — or even easier if said detector is connected to a cloud. That is the idea behind the SmartCord Live, a brand new power cord from the eagle-eyed folks at Escort. Once connected for your car’s radar detector and lighter socket, this Bluetooth-enabled bundle will communicate together with your iPhone or Android handset through a specialized app. Once that’s sorted, you may be installed to Escort Live — a so-called “social network for the line.” There, yow will discover access to Escort’s Defender database, crammed with real-time geographic information on verified speed traps, red light cameras and other roadway surveillance systems. Once your detector picks up a threat, you could press a “report” button at the cord or app to immediately send out an immense “five-oh” to all other Escort users within the area, while boosting your Karma quotient, within the process. Discover more in regards to the cord and its corollary system, after the break.
