no reason why it should stay on since they only use it when parked
You would want it off when driving as to reduce any interference with other devices, I did some power consumption measurements, it appears the Radar does NOT run when in continuous recording mode however may continue to run if you switch to time lapse or motion without disabling the Radar device before taking the system out of Power Saving mode.Then again also no reason to turn it off to save power when the car is running, and you are in regular drive mode and not parking.
There could be a surprise for folks here, intentional, or bug wise.
