<p class="wp-block-paragraph" dir="ltr">A new simple PC web game that simulates the life of an Electromagnetic Sensitive person in the city. Run away from zombies, talk to EHS people, and find items.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" dir="ltr">The game is designed for both educational purposes and fun. It incorporates real-world principles of dealing with radiation exposure and Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS). For instance, staying near a radiation source damages your health, while collecting wired equipment earns positive points. Collecting transmitting devices results in negative points, whereas collecting radiation meters, RF hats, or protective jackets yields positive points. Personal protection (hats and jackets) provides you with a certain level of defense against radiation. Spending time near another EHS person improves your health (provided they are optimistic and coping well). I hope this game brings a smile to the faces of EHS individuals and those coping with radiation sensitivity, while teaching them these essential principles along the way.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><strong>New! A brand new game on the &#8220;No Radiation For You&#8221; website – EMF DEFENDER</strong>.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the game, the hero—armed with an RF radiation meter and an EMP gun (an electromagnetic pulse that destroys electronic equipment)—tries to deactivate the wireless and cellular transmissions from people coming toward him. The moment he succeeds, they smile and go on their way. If he fails, the radiation level rises, and his health deteriorates further and further. Every now and then, a hat appears to protect the hero for a short period, or a GABA dietary supplement that will improve the hero&#8217;s health by 30%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a web game with 10 levels/stages and simple graphics. With each level, more people appear, and it becomes increasingly challenging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a light and simple game, built with AI, which cost me a few hours of work and testing, along with a moderate headache (3/10)&#8230; Enjoy!<br><br><a href="https://www.norad4u.com/emf-defender/">https://www.norad4u.com/emf-defender/</a></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buying a new used car</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This year (2026), I purchased a used 2015 NISSAN NOTE. Immediately after the purchase, I did two things:</p>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Removed or turned off all transmitters and wireless equipment from the vehicle.</li>



<li>Made a list of repairs, upgrades, and modifications I want to do. </li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Low on the upgrade list was the task of purchasing a new multimedia system and turning off or removing all transmitters from it. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I documented the purchase of the car and the removal of all RF sources from it in several blog posts. The summary was compiled in the post – <a href="https://www.norad4u.com/blog/2026/02/buying-a-new-old-low-emf-radiaton-car/">https://www.norad4u.com/blog/2026/02/buying-a-new-old-low-emf-radiaton-car/</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Choosing and Ordering the new multimedia system</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> A few weeks ago, I finally ordered the new Multimedia system from China. The purchase was delayed due to the war, and because of my search for the model that seemed to best fit my requirements. One of the main requirements was that it would be possible to turn off all RF transmissions (WIFI + BT). Another requirement was that the device would have physical buttons. Turning off the transmissions because I am radiation sensitive. Physical Buttons, because I believe that the main functions should be operable via a button, without diverting attention from the road and without performing multiple actions or gestures on the touch screen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is contrary to the majority opinion, where people want as many transmitters as possible (and as strong as possible) and as many touch screens as possible with fewer buttons. Of course, in both cases, they are wrong. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Physical installation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the shipment finally arrived (there was a customs delay), I began the installation by measuring radiation from the device and turning off everything that could be turned off. The device&#8217;s GUI (user interface) was restricted by the manufacturer, and it was only possible to turn off the WIFI through the interface. It was not possible to turn off the Bluetooth. This is where I got suspicious. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Afterward, I carried out a variety of physical adjustments in the car. The new device was supposed to be a perfect fit, but a few millimeters were missing in the dashboard for it to slide in easily.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Installing apps</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After hacking, cutting, and sanding the dashboard, the device fit in freely. Then I turned my attention to configuring the device and installing a navigation software that does not require cellular data or internet access. The software is ORGANIC MAPS, and it can be found on the Google Play Store. It requires a one-time wireless download of the maps to the device. Afterward, the Wi-Fi can be turned off forever (or until the next time you want to update to new maps). The installation was performed by downloading the APK file to a computer, transferring it to a USB memory card, and then transferring it to the device and running it.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="450" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ORGANIC-MAPS-800x450.jpg" alt="ORGANIC MAPS - offline navigation without radiation" class="wp-image-5177" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ORGANIC-MAPS-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ORGANIC-MAPS-400x225.jpg 400w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ORGANIC-MAPS-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ORGANIC-MAPS.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">ORGANIC MAPS &#8211; offline navigation without radiation </figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additionally, I installed a few more apps to make the device cooler, simpler, and more convenient to use. At the end of each installation, I re-checked that the device was not emitting radio frequency radiation, just in case one of the apps decided to turn the transmissions back on. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="450" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/DESHBOARD-AFTER-INSTALL-800x450.jpg" alt="Radio reception on android multimedia system" class="wp-image-5175" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/DESHBOARD-AFTER-INSTALL-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/DESHBOARD-AFTER-INSTALL-400x225.jpg 400w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/DESHBOARD-AFTER-INSTALL-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/DESHBOARD-AFTER-INSTALL.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Radio reception on the Android multimedia system</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is the RF really off?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Slowly but surely, a suspicion crept into my heart that there was a transmission, albeit a weak one. I removed the device from the car and hooked it up on my desk at home.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="430" height="600" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-EMISSIONS-FROM-CAR_MULTIMEDIA-430x600.jpg" alt="RF from the device...probably Bluetooth" class="wp-image-5180" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-EMISSIONS-FROM-CAR_MULTIMEDIA-430x600.jpg 430w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-EMISSIONS-FROM-CAR_MULTIMEDIA-215x300.jpg 215w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-EMISSIONS-FROM-CAR_MULTIMEDIA-768x1073.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-EMISSIONS-FROM-CAR_MULTIMEDIA.jpg 781w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">RF from the device&#8230;probably Bluetooth</figcaption></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At my house, the background radiation is lower than the radiation in the car, when it is parked on the street, and there are no transmissions at all (my entire house is wired/cable-based). This means it would be easy to notice any unusual transmissions from the device. Any transmission would be registered and displayed on the radiation meter. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I placed two radiation meters next to the device: an old CORNET ED88TPLUS to see if there was a transmission, and the ENV RD100 connected to a computer with software that displays the measurements over several hours. This way, I could capture every transmission. And indeed, two short transmissions were clearly visible once every few minutes.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="450" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/Measuring-the-RF-from-the-multimedia-system-at-home-800x450.jpg" alt="Measuring the RF from the multimedia system at home" class="wp-image-5185" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/Measuring-the-RF-from-the-multimedia-system-at-home-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/Measuring-the-RF-from-the-multimedia-system-at-home-400x225.jpg 400w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/Measuring-the-RF-from-the-multimedia-system-at-home-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/Measuring-the-RF-from-the-multimedia-system-at-home.jpg 1383w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Measuring the RF from the multimedia system at home</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BTLE signal every 150 seconds</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There was a tiny transmission every now and then. To understand exactly how often the transmission occurs, I connected the ENV RD100 to the computer and ran the logging software. On the software, I saw that the transmission occurs every 150 seconds (two and a half minutes). The transmission was clearly visible on both the meters and the software.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I used AI to help figure out what this could be. Its direction pointed toward a Bluetooth &#8216;KEEP ALIVE&#8217; or &#8216;BEACON&#8217; signal.<br>I installed a software that uncovers settings blocked by the manufacturer, and indeed, I found a setting for &#8216;BTL2&#8217;—a setting that, even when turned off, reverts back to transmission mode every time the device boots up.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="450" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/SCANNING-OFF-800x450.jpg" alt="WIFI and BT scanning turned off on the setup ...not enough" class="wp-image-5181" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/SCANNING-OFF-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/SCANNING-OFF-400x225.jpg 400w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/SCANNING-OFF-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/SCANNING-OFF.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">WIFI and BT scanning turned off on the setup &#8230;not enough </figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Removing the antennas</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After realizing I wouldn&#8217;t be able to turn this setting off permanently, I began to intervene at the hardware level. First, I removed the external Bluetooth antennas. On one of the device&#8217;s connectors, there were two small wires (about 3 cm each) that served as antennas for the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. After removing them, the measured signal dropped accordingly. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="449" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ExternalAntenna-800x449.jpg" alt="Removing 2 small antennas from one of the plugs...BT and WIFI" class="wp-image-5187" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ExternalAntenna-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ExternalAntenna-400x225.jpg 400w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ExternalAntenna-768x431.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/ExternalAntenna.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Removing 2 small antennas from one of the plugs&#8230;BT and WIFI</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To be honest, it was so low that it would have satisfied most people. But it did not satisfy me as a radiation-sensitive individual. The Bluetooth transmission dropped from a level of 8 milliwatts per square meter to less than 0.02. The Wi-Fi transmission (which I can turn off via the settings menu) dropped from 200 milliwatts per square meter to around 10 milliwatts per square meter.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="450" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/2BLTE-signals-800x450.jpg" alt="2 BTLE (low energy Bluetooth) signals on the meters' histogram." class="wp-image-5186" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/2BLTE-signals-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/2BLTE-signals-400x225.jpg 400w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/2BLTE-signals-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/2BLTE-signals.jpg 1383w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">2 BTLE (low energy Bluetooth) signals on the meters&#8217; histogram. </figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Removing chips from the board</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To lower the transmission even further, I decided to open the device and look for the transmitter itself to see if it could be removed. With the help of Google&#8217;s AI, I analyzed the components on the board. I realized that the transmission comes from a main chip that runs the operating system, which also includes the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmitter. This chip cannot be removed, because then the device wouldn&#8217;t work. I kept looking for another component that could be removed, or a point where I could cut off the path of the Bluetooth (and Wi-Fi) transmission to the external pins of the device.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="450" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/THE-DEVICE-OPENED-800x450.jpg" alt="The android multimedia system mother board" class="wp-image-5182" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/THE-DEVICE-OPENED-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/THE-DEVICE-OPENED-400x225.jpg 400w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/THE-DEVICE-OPENED-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/THE-DEVICE-OPENED.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Android multimedia system motherboard</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What I found (with the help of the AI) was an RF mixer/multiplexer installed on the board. I did a few tests with a multimeter to verify that this was indeed the component, and I identified that the pins that were connected to the external antennas were connected to the bottom pins of this chip.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="600" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_8441se-800x600.jpg" alt="The RF Multiplexer on the motherboard" class="wp-image-5188" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_8441se-800x600.jpg 800w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_8441se-400x300.jpg 400w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_8441se-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_8441se-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_8441se.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The RF Multiplexer on the motherboard</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I plucked up the courage and disconnected it from the board… I tried to be gentle, but since it was so small, I made quite a mess there. Ultimately, I managed to disconnect three of its pins from the board: the Wi-Fi pin, the Bluetooth pin, and the ground pin.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="588" height="600" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-Mixer-removed-1-588x600.jpg" alt="The RF Multiplexer output legs removed from the motherboard" class="wp-image-5189" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-Mixer-removed-1-588x600.jpg 588w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-Mixer-removed-1-294x300.jpg 294w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-Mixer-removed-1-768x784.jpg 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/RF-Mixer-removed-1.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The RF Multiplexer output legs were removed from the motherboard</figcaption></figure>
</div>


<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Retesting</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I reassembled everything and checked the radiation again. The radiation during Bluetooth transmission has now dropped almost below the level I am able to measure at home. And even then, it was only when the radiation meters were placed right against the device. In the car out on the street, this transmission will drown in all the noisy background. At least, that is what I hope. Besides, it&#8217;s just a pulse once every two and a half minutes. Not too bad&#8230; I hope.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="451" src="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/No-MULTIPLEXER-800x451.png" alt="RF noise after RF Multiplexer was removed from the board" class="wp-image-5176" srcset="https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/No-MULTIPLEXER-800x450.png 800w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/No-MULTIPLEXER-400x225.png 400w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/No-MULTIPLEXER-768x433.png 768w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/No-MULTIPLEXER-1536x866.png 1536w, https://www.norad4u.com/wp-content/uploads/No-MULTIPLEXER-2048x1154.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">RF noise after RF Multiplexer was removed from the board</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I reinstalled and reconnected everything, and checked the radiation in the car again, and indeed, I didn&#8217;t see the transmission at all above the already noisy background on the street.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the third time I have been forced to intervene at the hardware level in such devices to completely stop the transmission. And this is the first time I actually had to lift the &#8216;pins&#8217; of a tiny component off the board. In previous times, I had to disconnect an entire daughter board, which is easier.<br>To anyone who thinks this looks easy, or who feels exhausted after reading this tiring post, I will only say that it took me somewhere between 20 to 40 hours of work to do it all (depending on how you count).<br>That&#8217;s it… Now everything is assembled, everything works, and it seems that everything is not transmitting. Time to move on to the next project.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The study &#8211; <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq4418">https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq4418</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Exposure</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The bats were exposed to broadband radio frequency (RF) fields ranging between 0.01 and 300 megahertz (MHz), with a peak intensity in the range of 0 to 10 MHz (relatively low frequencies). The intensity was defined as &#8220;weak&#8221; and matches a typical urban electromagnetic profile considered safe for humans. The exposure intensity is below standard safety limits, typical of an urban environment, and is distinguished from the natural background levels at those frequencies. According to the AI, the level is between 0.2-0.4 milligauss. I did not find any reference to this in the paper itself. <strong>Exposure Duration:</strong> The exposure lasted for a short period only – 30 minutes in total. <strong>Exposure Timing:</strong> Groups exposed at different times were tested: at sunset (the time of the bat&#8217;s compass calibration), after sunset, or at night during takeoff itself.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What was observed?</strong> <strong>Loss of Navigation Ability (Disorientation):</strong> </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the control bats (which were not exposed to radiation) took off in a clear and specific direction corresponding to their natural migratory path, all the bats exposed to radiation took off in completely random directions (a uniform and scattered directional distribution). A key finding in the study is that the navigation disruption persisted even hours after the brief exposure had ended. Bats that were exposed for only 30 minutes and then placed in a dark room exhibited random and confused flight even when released about 2 to 6 hours after the end of the exposure.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Consistency of the Disruption</strong> </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The disruption in navigation occurred regardless of the timing of the exposure – whether they were exposed at sunset, after it, or at the moment of release, the exposure itself caused confusion in their ability to interpret the Earth&#8217;s magnetic field.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Conclusion – Standards Do Not Protect, The Consensus Is Wrong</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> The study reinforces the understanding that there are many mechanisms of damage and effects of non-ionizing radiation on biological systems and animals. This goes far beyond the prevailing misconception (represented by standards committees, ICNIRP, the World Health Organization, and the Ministries of Health and Environmental Protection) that if radiation does not cause immediate and acute effects (such as death), then it is harmless and completely safe.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What’s Wrong?</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Something is going wrong in the auto industry (actually, a few things) over the last few years, and it looks like a major counter-movement is finally waking up. Lately, cars seem to be getting bigger, safer, more advanced, and less polluting. At least, that&#8217;s how it looks on the surface. So, what’s wrong? Unfortunately, through all these changes, vehicles have become bulkier, overly complex, and way more expensive to buy, maintain, and drive. And instead of actually keeping us safer, they have turned into a massive distraction behind the wheel.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Everybody Wants an SUV</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The compact and sedan sectors—and especially large executive cars—have been virtually wiped out (at least in the Israeli market). They’ve been replaced by lifted, high-riding versions known locally as &#8220;Jeepons&#8221; and globally as Crossovers or SUVs. Everybody wants to sit up high, even if they only use the car to drop the kids off at kindergarten or sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic for an hour each way. The impact of this trend, alongside the death of smaller family cars, is exactly what you&#8217;d expect: a massive spike in car prices, vehicle weight, and overall maintenance costs. Everyone wants an SUV, but it comes with a price tag.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Are New Cars Actually Safer?</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ever-tightening safety regulations have forced more and more passive and active safety systems into our vehicles. The first byproduct of these systems—especially when poorly designed—is that they actually distract and annoy the driver while they&#8217;re trying to focus on the road. The second byproduct is cost. Every single one of these systems requires funding for development, taxes, and maintenance. Sure, they might save you a bit on insurance or registration taxes, but my estimate is that these systems add roughly 10,000 NIS (~3000$US), to the price of a new car. On top of that, they constantly interrupt the driver and have mostly become a daily nuisance. As a reference, a compact-sized SUV, like the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid,  in Israel costs ~180000NIS(which is around US$60000) </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Fuel Efficiency? Think Again.</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Strict emissions and fuel economy regulations have pushed manufacturers toward smaller engines (three or even two cylinders, around 1.0 to 1.2 liters) packed with turbochargers and paired with dual-clutch (robotized) or CVT transmissions. We see this even in relatively large vehicles like family sedans and SUVs. Beyond the lack of immediate power (as well as the shift to SUVs, which makes the cars heavier and causes higher fuel consumption even on smaller, weaker engines), this shift brings massive complexity and hidden costs. Smaller engines tend to wear out faster, turbo systems require extra maintenance, and robotized gearboxes (and CVTs to a lesser extent) demand complex and expensive upkeep. It all drives up running costs. And don&#8217;t even get me started on hybrids or electric vehicles—where you get unnecessary exposure to higher radiation alongside even greater technical complexity.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>More Screens, More Distractions</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Inside the cabin, physical levers and mechanical buttons are vanishing, replaced by massive screens. This has two major consequences: longer task times (meaning the driver’s eyes are off the road) and skyrocketing maintenance and repair costs. A recent study (link) highlighted staggering differences in response times for performing four basic driving tasks. The clear winner? The older vehicle with physical buttons and dials, leaving the screen-heavy modern cars far behind.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Expensive &#8220;Spaceships&#8221;</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The bottom line of all this is that cars have become over-engineered, more expensive to buy, and pricier to drive and maintain—all while having a shorter lifespan. Instead of simple, reliable transport, vehicles are turning into spaceships. DIY maintenance or fixing your own car? Forget about it. What used to be a common hobby is now nearly impossible because everything is so tightly packed and complex, requiring specialized diagnostic tools and the knowledge of an automotive engineer. In fact, things are so bad on the maintenance front that even dealership garages have almost stopped fixing parts; they just swap out entire systems. A repair that used to cost a few hundred shekels has turned into replacing a whole engine or a complete modular system, racking up bills in the thousands.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Tide is Turning</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But now, we might finally be seeing a shift. Well, sort of.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>European Regulations: Stop Distracting Us!</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2026, for the first time, European safety standards will prioritize physical buttons and mechanical controls, which allow drivers to operate systems much faster. They are also focusing on safety systems that don&#8217;t constantly get in the driver&#8217;s way. I wrote about this here – <a href="https://etsc.eu/cars-will-need-buttons-not-just-touchscreens-to-get-a-5-star-euro-ncap-safety-rating/">https://etsc.eu/cars-will-need-buttons-not-just-touchscreens-to-get-a-5-star-euro-ncap-safety-rating/</a></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Rise of Kei Trucks in the US</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another interesting pushback is coming straight from the US. American farmers and tradespeople are starting to import old, tiny Japanese work vehicles known as Kei Trucks. Why? Because they are cheap, dead simple, easy to fix yourself, highly reliable, and incredibly practical. More and more Americans are ditching their over-styled spaceships—those gigantic lifted trucks that look more like luxury yachts. We actually have a few of those in my neighborhood; they take up two regular parking spots, and you practically need a ladder just to climb into the cabin. Instead, people are choosing to work their fields with what we in Israel affectionately used to call the &#8220;Subarit&#8221; (a nod to Subaru&#8217;s tiny microvans from the &#8217;90s that were nimble, bulletproof, and efficient, often coming with an open flatbed and a 4&#215;4 drivetrain perfect for dirt roads and fields).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, instead of listening to the public, car manufacturers in the US are lobbying for laws to restrict these mini-trucks, citing safety concerns, especially on public roads. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m gathering from several recent articles and videos on the subject.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>An Urgent Wake-Up Call!</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To all car manufacturers and importers: I want to see more vehicles that are small, simple, easy to maintain, efficient, and practical. Vehicles that are affordable to buy, run, and fix. Bring back physical buttons, knobs, and levers in the cabin. Give us cars where, if I want to upgrade the infotainment or safety setup, I can do it myself or go to a local technician. I want cars built to last for decades, where I can handle at least basic maintenance on my own driveway.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fewer screen-heavy spaceships, fewer tiny downsized engines, fewer fragile turbochargers that break down, and fewer delicate transmissions that require constant upkeep. I don&#8217;t want vehicles that claim incredible fuel economy on paper, only to bleed my wallet dry with real-world operating costs. And of course, I want vehicles without unnecessary exposure to radiation from excessive electrical and communication systems. Let me decide how advanced or how beautifully simple my car should be, based on my own needs and taste.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am certain I am not the only one.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Israel ministry of Education has announced that it will ban the use of cellphones in middle schools. In the past, it has banned the use in primary schools. 14 years ago, the ministry pushed for WIFI , tablets, laptops and then cellphones in schools. We then warned against this and predicted that kids will have lower grades, lower reading-writing skills, and have worse communication skills, and some of them will become sensitive to Electromagnetic radiation (as my child has). </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We went to court on this issue and lost. WIFI was deployed, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device &#8211; meaning using cellphones in class) was adopted. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now everybody can see the damage, and the ministry is banning the use in middle schools. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not just in Israel, also in Norway &#8211; <a href="https://youtu.be/DbMTfxM7npY">https://youtu.be/DbMTfxM7npY</a></p>
