the way the motion sensor works is:
basically, everybody moving is either friend or foe. there are no anomalies (or ppl u just dont know about, whether they will shoot you or not). because of this, your allies automatically send out a signal to everybody else on you team telling that they are friendly. this causes their dot on the motion sensor to show up at yellow. any other movement that is not sending out a signal telling that they are friendly shows up as a red dot. the only problem with this is that vehicles, with or without a person, should always show up as red (unless you have an ally in it) whenever they move.
no, in the books i remember there was a part where a spartan on reach was going about and there was a dot on his radar and they said the FOF tag was turned off so he couldnt tell if it was ally or enemy. So this suggests that the radars do not auto label anyone not emitting a friendly tag as red.
