How to Let The Other Drivers Know How You Feel

All drivers know that at some point the whole driving thing can get quite frustrating, and that in certain situations one would
like to tell a lot of things to the other people in traffic, but, for various reasons, this is not possible. Well, this situation might change quite easily, with the help of a device called Driv-e-mocion and developed by London-based AU-MY Ltd.

As you can plainly see from the pictures, it consists of a LED panel placed on one of the car's windows (preferably the rear one), which the driver can use in order to let the other people on the road know just how he feels about certain things. The device doesn't require any wiring, it is battery-powered, and the control system is also a very easy one, via a remote control.

Unfortunately though, for the time being, the device can only display 2 messages ("thank you" and "back off") and 2 types of emoticons (a smiley face and a frowning face), which reduces quite a lot the range of emotions and messages a driver can express, but it's quite possible that in the near future the same company will launch a customizable device, in which the respective messages can be changed (which will make it even more interesting).
