I reckon this sort of thing would provide an audible warning to you (and the other car) when some drunk is rapidly approaching a stop sign (how many accidents happen) or approaching a bend too quickly. Or at least it would start the cameras rolling so you can prove an accident wasn't your fault.
I suppose it might involve mounting a radar + radio transmitter on signs.

There's a new idea, discussed here http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=526&doc_id=156444&f_src=flffour , that installs sensors + gps + wireless transmitter to a moving object, from people to cars to dogs, and polls the different sensors for certain parameter. It could be temperature, pollution, traffic, etc.
This idea works with the one presented in the article, and to me, seems like something people would want.
