Evidently you aren't very familiar with Japanese automotives. Practically every low- to mid-range vehicle being sold in Japan at the moment is equipped with a car navigation system. The level of graphic quality (i.e. three dimensional topographical data) far surpasses what's available in most other countries.

It's a good bet to assume that most if not all Japanese cars on the road, within the next ten years, will be equipped with at the very least some form of navigation system.]]>Aug 19th 2006 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/Aug 19th 2006 1:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/

I think that cars that run on tracks is a much more convenient way of handling it, and doing the risky - handing over the keys to the government. far less car accidents - none of which are DUIs - and the cars would run on hella expensive energy terminals under the road which feed the car through the tracks they run on. Bye gas, by meaningless deaths, hello taxes doubling. I'm up for it, who's with me!]]>Aug 19th 2006 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/Aug 19th 2006 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/Aug 19th 2006 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/Aug 19th 2006 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/Aug 19th 2006 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.crocsjibbitz.com which are the new age shoes.]]>Aug 19th 2006 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/Aug 19th 2006 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/
But those Japan companies sure can do something to surprise us outsider, almost always by news, for they do not sell those thing oversea too early.]]>Aug 19th 2006 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/

It reminds you every 10 seconds that it's unsafe to drive while constantly listening to warnings from your car.]]>Aug 21st 2006 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/japan-planning-intelligent-road-systems/Aug 21st 2006 5:14PM
