What a fascinating concept. Not only can this potentially revolutionize the lives of millions of people, but the implications past that are staggering. If this was a standard option how many lives would be saved from the moment distractions? How many sleepy drivers would be saved from hurting themselves or others?

The next iteration of highways and freeways requires technology like this to happen. There's no reason that we can't travel much, much more quickly than we do currently and adapting cars to help prevent accidents and avoid the situations that cause them is a necessary catalyst.

How nice would it be to commute to work every day and avoid the traffic jams that plague cities?

I for one can't wait to see this progress.
