I suspect that the dwell time would be small enough for most folks you
crossed paths with that you'd probably be safe (need to do the math anyway).

For cars going the same direction as you, you as the control operator,
have to make sure you don't irradiate anyone else around you beyond the
limits....

Besides installation accommodations, you can control exposure by
manually maintaining a sufficient "bubble" around you during
transmission (extended transmission... whatever the math tells you.

I don't have a feel for where we are generally "safe" mobile...  For
myself, I would have to do an actual test as installed and
measure/observe and plot.

Another excellent question....  of course you should ask.

Not a trivial engineering task IF you want to do it correctly.  :)
