A key ESCORT Live™ compatible model is ESCORT’s flagship detector, the PASSPORT 9500ix™ which features ESCORT’s patented AutoLearn™ technology. Frequently called ‘the world’s most intelligent radar detector’, the PASSPORT 9500ix™ uses GPS technology and artificial intelligence to allow AutoLearn™ to automatically identify, and then eliminate, false alerts.
