Navigation apps like the popular Waze allow drivers to communicate with fellow drivers, warning them if there happens to be a hazard on the road or if a vehicle is stopped on the shoulder. While the warnings are useful, would South Florida drivers benefit from being able to send others full-fledged messages while they’re on the road?
One company thinks so.
A company calling itself RoadWayve is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to promote its electronic signs which would indeed allow drivers to message fellow drivers while on the road. Using a sign that attaches to the rear windshield of the vehicle, messages can be relayed to the device using Bluetooth technology which will then show up on the LED screen.
While the device intentions may be good and could be used as a way for a driver to thank another if, for example, they allow them to pass, the sign may also lead to problems. South Florida is notorious for its impatient and aggressive drivers, and road rage is unfortunately common. A sign that can convey a not so pleasant message if someone gets cut off may only exacerbate an already tense situation.
