Digital Road Rage
We’ve all encountered those reckless drivers on the road. Sometimes, you just want to pull your window down a shout all sorts of insults to that driver. Don’t worry, now you can do it easily – without thinking of words, without even uttering them.
Presenting the Drivemocion emoticons, this device expresses a driver through sign animations. Drivemocion has a complete range of message icons, from angry to flirty and from happy to sad. All messages are displayed in the user-friendly message screen which is mounted at the rear window. It is operated via remote control.
The latest poll says that the most used icons are both apologetic/sad and anger/shouting. Extremes are a way to describe it.
The makers claim that the product will be fun and conducive to communication while driving. It can be used to lighten up the highways or bridge multi-cultural boundaries – including language barriers. The product gives us a chance to grow with the ever-expanding cultures that are present in the American roadways.
I think this is a fresh device for the driver. It would be a good customization add-on to any vehicle. But for those on a budget, I don’t think it will be feasible. Still, it’s a great accessory to have. Furthermore, it can have greater use in the future. As what the makers said, it will be a very good medium of communication for drivers around the motorways.
Picture this though. You cut a trucker in the highway and you flash the apologetic icon. Do you think that would make him less angry or angrier?
Think about it.
