Pratt & Miller rear Radar - used on C6 vettes at the 12hr
pretty cool tech.... Especially at night!

The Pratt & Miller team used a rear-facing radar system — the same technology your adaptive cruise control uses to avoid smacking the guy in front of you — to create an identification and collision-avoidance setup that identifies and tracks cars approaching from behind and relays the information to the driver through a 7-inch, cockpit-mounted display. The system can track up to 32 cars and tell the driver how many are behind him, how quickly they’re closing in, which classification they are and — if they’re fast enough — which side of the Corvette they’ll pass on.
...
For now, the Pratt & Miller Corvette is the only car equipped with the tech, but the company intends to make the system available to its competitors as early as this year.
