Feature creep of creepy features.

And if the car is “electric”, are you signing away your legal rights regarding harms from the EM bath you are daily immersed in, the extent of which has not yet been discovered or perhaps disclosed?

Further to

While it may not happen to you, radiation is connected to a lot of illnesses. All sorts. All exposures. Tiny, large, huge, overwhelming.

A chief scientist at an petroleum energy corporation said in a lecture some decades ago that there is no non-zero safe level of petrochemical exposure. A single molecule is carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic. The biological system may be up to the threat at whatever exposure level it meets, but it may not.

The body is marvelously sensitive to EM fields. One could expect that there is again no safe level.

The medical statistics of the situation of the population operating EVs everywhere all the time are probably not understood.

Re: biology and EM

Some interesting research by Szent-Gyorgi, Becker, and others on the effects of electricity and EM in biological processes including healing of nerve tissue is outlined in [1].

@ Winter

why are people then complaining about EM fields in cars and from mobiles?

Wondering about frequency, dosage etc. ?
