For those of you that commute at night here is and interesting concept... http://blog.wired.com/cars/2009/02/lightlanes-lase.html
Hmm. Can it be programmed to fire .50 Cal bullets into an engine of a car that's gotten within X number of yards of the cyclist?
Or better yet...have it wirelessly hack into the on board computer in the car and have it slam on the brakes!
This is good! Makes for safer riding. I can also imagine it would be a good marketing tool. Since its a laser you can pretty much beam out any image. Roaming bike mounted advertising (... pay commuters, messengers, and unemployed cyclists money to ride around with a an add beamed out of their bike....)
There is an air bag in the hoodie when he passes the horizontal plain it deploys and enshrouds his noodle.
This will be good. Even better would be to make it harder to get a drivers license. Too many drivers have their priorities out of line. (Example: Do we really need to be told not to text and drive? Let alone two separate laws for using a cell phone and texting on one...holy shit what has this world come to.)
That's genius! That way when they are staring at the Budweiser ad with a smokin' hot chick holding a beer, they can hit you!
I think that's why you're actually supposed to point it right toward the driver's line of site. This thing reminds me of when I lived in NYC and would drive pigeons crazy on the neighboring rooftops by pointing a laser on the roof next to them or on the chest of a pigeon in the group and the rest of them would just freak out and fly away. I probably ruined their eyes or something, but it proved to be hours of entertainment when cash was short.
