Seeing round corners

David Jones

Nature, 1997, vol. 389, issue 6652, 680-680

Abstract: Daedalus is tired of being stuck behind slow vehicles on narrow, winding roads, unable to overtake because he cannot see whether the other lane is clear. He proposes embedding optical fibres of varying lengths in the road bed, which would reveal the distance and speed of approaching cars, from their flickering `road shadow'. And they would even strengthen the road.
