An Atom is so much lower, so much quicker, so much faster than a regular car, that part of the danger of driving an Atom are the drivers in the slower cars around it. The drivers do not know how fast the Atom can do what it does, and they often do not know what the Atom is about to do (quickly).
If we could communicate in faster, more intuitive ways with the cars around us, might not that make their and our drives safer?
Here is an article of one group's attempt to do just that. Though it is applied to cycles, can it not be adapted to the Atom?
