I was watching this video of a live chicken trapped on a moving truck and thought it was strange that it’s not possible to say anything to them even when circumstances might warrant it. All we got is honking and waving. There could be a touchscreen interface with a map of nearby vehicles. It could be voice controllable or the passenger could do it for safety.
You have seen unfiltered general chat on an mmo?
And now that at freeway speeds?
No thank you.
fictional spaceships have advanced sensors,manuverability, and subspace communication. cars dont have that capability.
Also fictional spaceships tend to have a whole crew instead of 1-5 people.
You can contact other drivers. Just curl your fingers and thumb together and do the wanker gesture at them.

CB radio still exists.
It’s called a CB radio. Enjoy.
If I can’t say “on screen” first then I don’t want it
Is the communications holofilter ready?
Engage the overlay. Put them on screen.
You can just remember to say “Over” over.
Have you seen the movie Serenity? When they’re out in Reaver space, remember the radio chatter?
That’s what it would sound like.
“sir they’re hailing us!”
“Thanks wife, put them through.”
“HEY FUCKER YOU DIDNT SIGNAL”
* my bad hand wave *
This is actually being worked on. Researchers are looking at adding a 4th light to stop lights. When enough “smart” cars get into the area they will talk to each other and the stop light to help control the flow of traffic. The 4th light is to tell you that is happening. When the cars leave the area, the turns off, and the light goes back to normal control mechanisms.
In the eighties when cell phones started being installed in cars, some people posted their phone numbers on their back or side window. That didn’t last long.
CB Radio was big in the 70’s.
it must have been super fun. I wish the world was based on magnets again
I heard it’s not completely dead, just mostly. Be the change you want to see!
Many people would use such a method to troll and be disruptive, possibly causing collisions
BRETTS_NISSAN has just sent you an unsolicited dick pic
Yeah just like every online videogame with strangers. I would immediately mute it and never unmute.
A touch screen interface in a car is a TERRIBLE idea. Yeah a passenger could do it but only if there is a passenger in the car in the first place.
Maybe a manual dial to cycle through the available nearby vehicles then. The idea is just that there should be a way for it to be clear who you are contacting and where their vehicle is on the road relative to yours.

Not around me at highway speeds, please and thank you.
