G+_George Kozi Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Kind of a smart solution. I'm sure this will become commonplace in the near future. http://www.studioroosegaarde.net/project/smart-highway-reuters/ Mike Elgan Originally shared by EARTH: The Operators' Manual As cars make technological leaps and bounds, roads are still stuck in the 20th century. That's all changing in the Netherlands with a solar charged glow in the dark smart highway that could eliminate the need for street lights, create dynamic lanes, warn drivers of icy conditions, and more. http://tinyurl.com/m54oa4n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mike Zwarich Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Neat idea, but useless for six months of the year in Canada unless they come with heaters to melt though the packed snow and ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Mike Zwarich Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 George Kozi Agreed, but during the other parts of the year we need something. I guess the issue is whether it is worth spending the extra money on tech like this if it only works half the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
