[Land-speed] IN Car Communications

[Meierle, Michael D (Mike)]

The  communications system has to be designed for speed. A little thing called
Doppler affects microwave communication as well as sound.

Cop Radios (800Mhz) and such are designed for this, but not for 200MPH.

Even Motorola doesn't expect you to go that fast.

NASCAR and F1 do it but their pockets are a bit deeper.

Come on a special aurora?? we can chat with a satalite that goes to mars and
jupiter at 20k mph in real time. I think they need a better astrologer..
maybe magic chicken bones would help.. Rule 1 of engineering no one is
nearly as smart as you think they are... especially with explanations like
this..Why not just turn up the mojo generator and adjust the etch-a-sketch
interface to get all the iron particles aligned..
