Radio road alert system tested by Ford and Philco
Ford and Philco demonstrated an experimental radio road alert system that uses memory units in cars to deliver pre recorded warnings via the car radio. The system would store 40 plus messages and trigger alerts for hazards such as bridge washouts, road blocks, icy roads, or wrong way driving, with roadside transmitters covering up to 2000 feet. Potential costs range from 25 to 50 dollars for equipment and install, subject to funding by authorities.
