Ford researchers unveiled one of the first privately funded "smart intersections" in North America, a key step toward leveraging GPS technology and wireless infrastructure-to-vehicle communications to reduce traffic accidents and ease congestion. The smart intersection, established near Ford's Research & Innovation Center in Dearborn, communicates with specially equipped test vehicles to warn drivers of potentially dangerous traffic situations.

this makes me want to buy a ford even less. that shit would piss me off in my town. every 5 seconds thats all you would hear!! its freakin saint louis!! everywheres a stop sign or stop light!!

Drive properly and you will not have to hear "STOP LIGHT" "STOP LIGHT" every single traffic light..........

You'd have an increase in accidents in the event that the stop sign gets replaced by a timed light. You'd be cruising thru a green light when a voice says 'stop sign'.. then you brake and the guy behind you hits you.You'd really need a vison system to augment a gps/database system.

Cant they just make the steering wheel and/or seat vibrate? My neighborhood has alot of stop signs and lights, I dont want to hear her voice every 5 seconds. Maybe even a subtle "ding" would be better than that!

Couldn't agree more.

Very smart, but what if people rely on it too much and abuse it and causes more crashes by not paying too much attention or getting distracted?

Just get off your phone and drive properly...

GO FORD!!!
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
