Who wants to sit in traffic tie-ups? No one Clark knows, and especially not Clark. He literally freaks out as soon he sees the cars ahead. So whenever he sees stories about trends and technology that help traffic, he wants to tell people about them. The latest story involves a 511 system, which Clark talked about five years ago. The basic idea was that people could call 511 on their cell phones and find out what traffic was like anywhere. There are now 26 systems around the U.S., and apparently they don’t talk to each other very well. It costs $15 million to maintain, but none of the states are compatible. In foreign countries, systems are much more effective and in sync. The systems tell people how far ahead an accident is what speed drivers are going. Honda has something in Tokyo, Japan called the “Car Navigation System.” It talks to drivers about accidents and even offers alternate routes to avoid them. Better yet, it's free for the first six months. How cool is that? Of course, the only downfall is that you have to know Japanese.
