What could possibly go wrong? New augmented reality app projects messages onto nearby drivers’ windshields in a bid to end road rage
- The app projects information from a smartphone to the driver's windshield
- Users can choose a sign to display in situations where you may need to rush
- There are signs to let drivers know if you're rushing to the hospital or the airport
- To stop people from using the feature excessively to excuse speeding or bad driving, there would be a limit to how many times a user could use one of these
- The app would also allow users to send 'likes' and 'dislikes' to other drivers and the ratings could be used by insurance companies to help inform their pricing
The system projects information from a smartphone add-on to the driver's windshield without blocking their view.
The app, called 'CarNote,' could be useful in situations where you're rushing to the hospital or the airport, allowing to you notify drivers as to why you're speeding or cutting them off.
