    My grandfather had his weather rock. When it was warm and dry, sun was out. When it was wet, raining. Covered with snow, snowing. When it couldn't see it and tripped over it, you guessed it.......dark out. Worked for him like a charm for decades. I now own it. I'll go check it and give these tech-geeks a weather update.lol

    The system in the video warns others to the dangerspot.For that it needs internetconnection.In the future i'm shure someone will come to a forum like this one and blame his accident on the internet ging down.

    My thoughts exactly. Anymore, technology is simply enabling stupid people to exist, defying Darwinism.

    And actually, tinytim, they didn't think, and that was the problem. Probably a typical dumb-### that thinks they can run 75 when the roads are wet or otherwise dangerous.
