Could these distractions not themselves perpetuate congestion?

]]> <![CDATA["Reactive Sparks" Turns Traffic Agony Into Pretty Art]]> I noticed something new at the PDX airport on my way to lovely (jk) Minneapolis on Sunday. There's sensors above the parking stalls that turn on little LED lights showing green for open or red for closed. No more being teased by that "open" spot that's actually a Mini hidden behind some ugly SUV. Totally rad, why didn't we already think of this 10 years ago?

BTW Minnesota is boring. At least there's a fast WiFi network at the hotel for Jalopnik and Pr0n...

But, seriously, does anyone actually need any more distractions while driving?

This Munich installation seems more interactive.
