"applications include the ability for a traffic light to beam out a countdown of how long it will remain on red" Street racers will be thrilled with this one.
"A light sensor on the target vehicle would then decode the message and deliver it to the other driver." Great... you used to be able to ignore the idiots, now they can write their epithets out and send them to you!

Or more likely a mesh network to inform the cars of impending problems. With this tech you wouldn?t need constant connection with cars, just junction boxes placed here and there. That way you could send info to the onboard computer about all kinds of things, like traffic updates. Then just use the mesh to propagate the info. Could be useful way beyond telling off another driver, though that I?m sure that would happen. Hopefully just one more step towards self driving cars, something I feel really needs to happen soon.
