I believe that for local traffic, where one may not be planning on covering up to 850mi., intuition and trained mental alertness may also have been in use since highways were built. Red and Green, I say. I mean there are radios all along the way for fresh air traffic reports. I bet you use Power Point for presentations to. I prefer an overhead projector and transparencies like Bob Pease of Pease Porridge @ http://www.elecdesign.com

They did this live for the camera. Just by releasing the hood the it worked. Thats real inventiveness! This is just more electronic junk!
