Car Point Korea has developed a new navigation system in
collaboration with Mitsui Japan called the XROAD X500. Evidently, the gadget features LED lights on either side of
the screen that blink yellow to indicate an upcoming turn. If you see both lights blinking red at the same
time, watch out! The XROAD X500 is programmed to let you know when you’re near a “dangerous spot,” according
to the linked story.
Not sure what they mean by “dangerous spot” — if the device indicates dangerous neighborhoods, what’s the criteria
for judging which areas are “dangerous?” And is the company planning on doing damage control when the
navigation system offends a customer for calling their neighborhood “dangerous?”
