ESCORT, the leader in premium radar and laser detection and driver awareness technology, has officially announced the launch of its brand-new MAX 4 radar detector, which is designed to help you achieve worry-free journeys. According to certain reports, the stated detector delivers on its promise by bringing to the fore twice the false alert filtering accuracy, as compared to similar detectors in its class. Alongside that, it also offers exceptional detection range, as well as a membership to one extended community of like-minded driving enthusiasts. Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, we begin from, of course, the promise of unprecedented accuracy, a promise which is only helped further by the minimization of distractions on the road. To go with that, the technology in question leverages Advanced AutoLearn™ Intelligence software for the purpose of muting repeated false alert locations. This, in turn, also makes the detector smarter over time. Next up, we must get into device’s exceptional detection range. Here, you have an enhanced LNA technology capable of providing increased sensitivity and detection range so to ensure that drivers can get notified of what’s to come. Complimenting the same is a Drive Smarter app, which presents you with an access to ESCORT’s enthusiast community. The stated community is where drivers can share and receive real-time alerts when on the road, while simultaneously enjoying the option to contribute towards the safety of others and create a collective shield against unexpected obstacles.

“As summer approaches, more drivers are out on the roads, whether it’s for a family road trip or a fun weekend drive – and nothing ruins it like a costly speeding ticket. Premium radar detectors like the MAX 4 are the perfect entry point for drivers who are new to detectors and want that added security and awareness so they can enjoy the journey and worry a little less,” said Jonas Forsberg, CEO of ESCORT’s parent company, Cedar Electronics. “While these products have historically been considered for the car enthusiast, the MAX 4 is designed for all.”

Rounding up highlights for us is presence of Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integrations. You see, drivers can leverage these integrations to achieve seamless connectivity. This particular piece of value goes a long distance to help the driver keep focus on the road as critical alerts stream directly on the vehicle’s compatible infotainment display.

The development in question delivers a rather interesting follow-up to one research, which surveyed over 1,000 US licensed drivers and discovered that nearly 40% have reportedly been pulled over for speeding in the past 5 years. Out of those 40%, an estimated 60% claimed that they simply weren’t paying attention before being ticketed.

In terms of availability, the new detector is available for both new customers and the ones who have owned previous ESCORT radar detectors but are now looking to upgrade. To fulfill that, the latter contingent must purchase a new radar detector via the ESCORT website and add “Online Trade in Program” to the shopping cart before checking out. At launch, the device can be bought for a price of $399.99, and it can be bought from escortradar.com and BestBuy.com. Not just that, you can also purchase it from most offline Best Buy stores located throughout the nation.
