I Saw This Coming

Read this story from The Detroit News about this traffic-light-changing gadget.

For as little as $300 you can drive up to a red light and change it to green. Pretty cool and it seems to be all legal … at least so far. It’s the same thing used by fire trucks and ambulances to change the lights so they can get on to an emergency.

I knew it was only a matter of time before this type of thing made it to everyday drivers. By the time a thing like this is noticed and written up in the newspaper there are probably thousands of them out there already in use. Of course, the potential for chaos is high.

Thanks to Hit and Run.
