Have you ever wanted to message another car on the road?

"Hey, thanks for letting me merge! "

"Hey, your right taillight is out, just a heads up"

"Hey, you're stupid hot, are you available for a quick frick at the next exit?"

Make it a universal proximity based on VIN, so you could see a list of cars around you...

I.e. "Nissan Maxima - Grey (SB I-55, LA MM35)"

Or maybe a license plate based username? (I.e. "LA ABC-###")

Thoughts?

Sounds like texting-like distraction on steroids. I smell death.

I see a lot of good coming out of this idea.

No way it would used for road raging.

Not a chance.

People are typically calm and reasonable while driving. I'm sure it would result in the exchange of lots of healthy, non racist ideas.

There was a woman next to me on the road this morning and I thought about telling her the light in her backseat (she was in a van) was on. She'll probably leave work and find her battery dead. I thought something along those lines today.










Also because she was stupid hot.

Texting while driving is illegal where I live - as it should be everywhere.

You could make it voice-activated and hands-free.

I had an invention idea years ago for a bumper sticker with LED message capability that goes on the inside of the glass.

Comes with an app so you can enter whatever you want and it scrolls on the back glass.


ETA:

Would be thin and not a big box. They can make these things almost flat now. And it would hook into the car's power and have bluetooth to your phone's app.

I invented a bumper sticker once. Made a good bit of money off of it. It just said "shite Happens"

Some guy running across America inspired me to do it. I heard he inspired another guy to invent the yellow smiley face thing too.
