[BC] RFI stalls cars near Empire State Building

[R A Meuser]

I think it is clear from other posts on this topic that it is in fact a 
car problem. I believe the issue is that there are few places where 
there is the combination of high RF levels and a high density of 
vehicles. We will mostly likely be hearing much more on the subject now 
that the cat is out of the bag so to speak. I wonder how long before the 
same problem is discovered in Chicago and possibly Boston.
