I remember reading somewhere that back in the '60's when radar was first used to trap speeders. Court system had a controversal time about auto speedometers vs radar speed. That was when auto mfg. had to make sure the speedometer in their autos were accurate.

I wonder if boaters will run into the same controversy as everyone knows boat speedometers are never accurate.
