This week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a company called Autonet Mobile will unveil a product that turns automobiles into wireless hotspots.  Children can then be wirelessly connected to play games during long trips, view movies transmitted into the car and e-chat with their friends.  The coverage area of the device, which can be mounted in the trunk, is thirty to forty feet.  Needless to say, this is not a very good idea from a health perspective.  Our work in doing exposure assessments regarding dangerous information-carrying radio waves repeatedly shows automobiles to be effective resonant cavities that trap these dangerous radio waves and enhance their concentration and resultant exposure to people in the car.  With these waves, there is no safe level of exposure, so this device is dangerous.  We have found no evidence that this device has been tested for safety.  As a device aimed at children, it is also odd that the Consumer Product Safety Commission has not taken notice.  That agency does not address radiation exposures traditionally, but in this case the target is children, and children are usually in their purview.
 
Pass the word.  Consumers indeed have a right to know what is not being told to them about this product.
