Car Talk

May 2009 Popular Science Magazine is about future travel. Mostly about planes, trains, and spaceships, but there is a small article titled, “CAR TALK"(p28). It discusses how cars would be able to talk to each other. It is high-tech WI-FI chip designed by an Australian company Cohda Wireless. The chip would enable the cars to relay their speed and location to cars with in 500 feet. Onboard computers would analyze the data and alert the driver if a car is running a red light and diverting collisions. The cars radio units would record the road conditions and if the traffic is backed up. I will bring in the magazine on Sunday for any one who might be interested in reading the article.
