Programmable LED Signs For Your Car?

We’ve told you about the various uses and benefits of programmable LED signs—how you can use it to improve communication systems in schools, for businesses and even in churches. But have you ever thought of how a programmable LED sign might be useful for your car?

In Australia, a man named Gagandeep Singh has. He has found another way to communicate with other drivers while on the road. Instead of multiple car horns or rude hand gestures, he developed a new rear window LED system that “offers feedback to bad drivers” such as those who like to tailgate.

Singh’s very own programmable LED sign is home made out of LED lights and has pre-programmed messages such as “Driving slow!”, “Keep distance!” and “Keep right!” The LEDs (or light emitting diodes when spelled out) are spaced at 2cm intervals covering the entire rear window of his Volkswagen Polo. The space is just enough for short, two-word scrolling messages. Now for safety driving advocates, Singh says it doesn’t get in the way of his rear vision.

This daringly digital driver has more plans for his portable programmable LED sign. According to him, he is “attempting to add a Bluetooth receiver so drivers can update the LED sign via a mobile phone.” Let’s just hope he doesn’t resort to texting while driving or it’s the traffic police who’ll be tailgating his rear.
