Of course. Im thinking of something like cb, but more casual. Keep using CB as-is for longer range important stuff with proper radio etiquette, but require the super short range yap network as basic local comms. And yeah gov’t could have a dedicated channel with high power for traffic alerts, give NOAA a channel, etc. Have the receive function work passively like a scanner.
Yes. This would put the “person” back into driving. People would no longer be in their car sanctuary while driving. If someone was on their phone you could call them out.
We ARE meant to communicate with each other while driving. Brakes, turn signals, horns … this would just be an extra safety step.
That would never work because American local governments are too self-aggrandizing. It would just be filled with ads for whatever local city council member’s pet projects. We can’t even keep emergency alerts sane here. Where I live there is a Presidential alert, an Emergency alert, an Amber alert, a Silver alert, a Blue alert, and an Ebony alert. Probably more, I can’t keep track of it all.
Actually I think it would be even more stupid: it would be a robot voice reading out long links to Tweets.
