Default killing cars with high RF?

It doesn't take much. Back in the early '90s a group of us were returning
from a hamfest and I was riding in the back seat of one guy's late '80s
Ford something or other (Crown Victoria, maybe?). I was using my HT to
talk to the other car on 2m and the driver noticed that his cruise control
was gaining speed and when I unkeyed it settled down. Once I figured out
it was my HT causing it, loads of fun ensued.

If something is sensitive to RF, it probably won't take much to cause it
to malfunction. The fact is that nobody does RF shielding or protection
for consumer electronics, so there is no set power limit below which a
device may not be affected.
