Global Mobile Alert has developed a warning system to help drivers use their phones while driving. In my opinion, this is not a solution at all. It could even make the matters worst by distracting the driver even more. I found the system to be rather humorous though!
“Whenever a driver who’s talking on a phone closes to within 100 meters of a stoplight, the system interrupts his or her conversation with a loud chirp — providing a not-so-gentle reminder to slow down.”
“The phone compares signals from GPS satellites to determine the vehicle’s location, direction, and speed, and transmits that information over the cellular data network to a computer server built by Global Mobile Alert. The server contains a database with the exact latitude and longitude of all stoplights and other traffic hazards in the driver’s area. If the server calculates that the cell-phone user’s vehicle is nearing one of those positions, it sends a chirp resembling the cuckoo-clock sound played by some pedestrian-crossing systems for the benefit of the visually impaired.”
