Garmin Varia The Garmin Varia radar tail light is currently on sale for $149. I've been riding with one of these for many years and wont ride without it. I've experienced absolutely no false negatives. Coupled with a Hammerhead Karoo 2 I could almost write speeding tickets as the vehicles shown in red are coming on REALLY fast.

This is the one I have. I love it. Works perfectly. Somebody made a data field for your Garmin that records the vehicle info from your radar.

I've had mine for a year and can't say enough good things about it. Excellent battery life for a tail-light as well. Besides the obvious benefit from the radar, I also appreciate being able to control it (change light mode) from my Garmin head unit while I'm riding.

There's a new radar for eBikes now. I think the one this thread is about is still the sweet spot for most people.
