Video: See how Nissan checks its cars for radiation YouTube -
Japanese automakers are continuing to test their products for excessive radiation levels as they leave their respective manufacturing facilities and before they're loaded onto container ships for transport. Nissan has released a video detailing the company's radiation check system, which includes monitoring randomly-selected sample group vehicles in three key locations.
Workers measure levels at the vehicles' wheels, the center of the hood and the steering wheel before handing out clean bills of health. So far, all of the company's vehicles have passed without a problem.
Automakers began testing vehicles after the disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant despite the fact that most manufacturing locations are situated well away from the ill-stricken facility.

It's a radiation meter made by Horiba in Japan-- it is essentially a geiger. Modern iterations of the device have come a ways from the big yellow box that clicks. This one just takes a reading and displays it on the screen.
Said readings are a bunch of entirely useless posturing in place to placate idiots. There's zero danger of radiological contamination of products coming from Japan, least of all cars.

speaking of which.
Low levels of radiation found in Japanese car arrivals at Chilean port - The Mainichi Daily News
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -- Customs agents in Chile have detected low levels of radioactivity in cars shipped from the Japanese port of Yokohama.
Chile says the radioactivity was found in 21 of nearly 2,500 cars that arrived in Iquique aboard the Hyundai 106 cargo ship.
About a hundred port workers have protested, saying their health was at risk.
