Reducing rubbernecking | |||||||||||||||||
How about putting LCDs in the side windows of cars?The LCDs can be adjusted in darkness by the driver to act as active window tint OR be adjusted by the brightness of the sun... the brighter the sun, the darker the active tint/LCD in the side windows. In addition to this feature of cars, cars would have a radio antenna that would pick up a weak signal of a radio signal being sent by a specially designed pylon that police would set out and turn on at a traffic accident. As a passerby approaches the accident, they get closer to the transmitting emergency pylon. As they get closer to the pylon, the passerby's side window (facing the accident) goes completely dark/black without the ability of the window's darkness to be adjusted by the driver. As the driver drives past and then away from the accident, the window's LCD goes transparent again.

If you don't like looking at horrible scenes it's simpler to merely shut your eyes. I am not fond of police censorship.
Making the windows go black on a moving car would be a terrible safety hazard. It is especially important to see what's happening as you pass an accident scene to avoid hitting emergency personnel.
This "solution" to rubbernecking isn't to prevent ME from rubbernecking...it's to remind other people that they can drive better if they look out the FRONT window.
