The motive behind that was to explain that your info helps others in the network as well and pretty much using radio signals, so if your friend has a dash system and is stuck in traffic, his update (nothing manual) would tell you (by means of your dash system), a 100 km behind, to avoid that route . Obviously expecting a driver to manually enter any info while driving is a dangerous option and no auto manufacturer would go for that.Sowmya Gopalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801913358584597094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413207868821089033.post-82068390548432818052009-06-05T00:14:01.166+02:002009-06-05T00:14:01.166+02:00well, as Ch said, if designer well causing minimum...well, as Ch said, if designer well causing minimum distraction to the driver, it cud be wonderful. <br />1. If im alone, i shud be able to feed voice and not enter 1K alphabets. <br />2. the moment someone feeds something I get an alert, only if its on my route. but again, someone shud actually filter the msgs(whether voice or txt) else I can play games and leave a msg for my frnd who is 100 km behind..lol..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914233470108732486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413207868821089033.post-39644112107765477522009-06-03T10:56:28.762+02:002009-06-03T10:56:28.762+02:00@ Charanya

When you travel a route, the route, time taken and traffic scenarios are stored in your dash device and asynchronously fed to the dash server (using WiFi). This information is made available to other dash users by an update from the dash server. Naturally, over time and with more data, the traffic profiles and the traffic prediction models improve, so you will know exactly what roads to avoid on a friday evening.Sowmya Gopalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801913358584597094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413207868821089033.post-57271797342926974452009-06-02T21:56:16.000+02:002009-06-02T21:56:16.000+02:00Interesting.

I wonder how the user should feed the input.. if not well designed it cud be worse than using cell phones on the road. Also, is the feed asynchronous? that would be the most useful feature.Charanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682705162985903994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413207868821089033.post-20202713927696828492009-06-02T21:51:56.918+02:002009-06-02T21:51:56.918+02:00Sounds interesting..

Also I wonder if the updates are asynchronous. That would make such a device more useful.Charanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682705162985903994noreply@blogger.com
