Boston University Working On LED Wireless Networks

Madas writes "This article on Absolute Gadget details how researchers at Boston University's College of Engineering are working on devloping wireless networks that use LED lights instead of normal radio waves. This research apparently has other uses in the automobile industry. Apparently the LEDs could warn you if the driver in front has put the brakes on so could avoid hitting the car in front. Personally, I'd use the vision balls that are in my thought box."

Re:I want to drive too!

Um, I don't think I want you driving my car, Steve. Or your friend Ray, either.

The submitter wishes to use his eyes, but that requires he also use his feet. When I'm on the highway I don't want to use my feet. If the car's on cruise control (hint: you get LOTS better mileage using your cruise) could let off the accelerator by itself when the idiot ahead braked (unless someone cuts you off or an animal is in your way, there is no reson to brake on the highway except following too close), it would be a far more pleasant driving experience.

"Vision balls in my thought box?" That's the worst poetry I've heard since the Vogons. Please stop!
