New system alerts drivers to traffic tie-ups

A few years ago, Clark talked about a computer driving system in Europe that senses an accident or traffic tie up on the road up ahead. Now, it’s coming to the United States. This fall, Acura will install the system in one of its models, and Cadillac will put it in several of its models. As you drive along, you will be alerted to the problem and directed around it. The New York Times reports that neither company has disclosed what the cars that have these systems will cost. Acura says the system will be free at first and then the company will charge a monthly fee of about $10. But Clark thinks it’s great because it will save truckers and, therefore many industries, a lot of time and money. Eventually, the systems will be in every car out there. How much would you pay for a car with this system?
