I'd love to have a danger heat map displayed on a HUD while driving. Say a default green banner that goes red near a hot spot or even animates near a current hazard. Mostly it could use these same stats, but then be strident if anything unpredictable is detected nearby.
- stevage 9mo agoMe too, that's a great idea. Or just incorporated into the satnav, better than getting the warning for an upcoming speed camera.
- itishappy 9mo agoWaze used to indicate transient road hazards (e.g. stopped cars, pot holes). It's in Google Maps now too (took them long enough) and I assume others. Static hazards deserve physical signage and/or remediation.
- joncrane 9mo agoAs I mentioned in another comment, Waze does this. There's a stretch of the Capital Beltway that, if it was on a race track and compressed, would be called "esses." It's totally fine to navigate at 80 MPH with no drama in any mechanically sound, post-1980 car, but it catches mediocre drivers by surprise. Waze throws up a "history of accidents" message whenever I drive through it.
