This is interesting – an Android app which turns your smartphone into a device which tells you how far away from the car in front you are. It’s also supposed to be able to tell you when you deviate from lanes.
I’m going to have a play with it when I get the chance.
This article is a review, but the Android Market reviews differ somewhat, giving it higher and lower ratings. On average, though, higher.
What the app does is use your phone’s camera and GPS sensors to relate to road position and proximity to the vehicle in front. It can also take snapshots if you want it to. It has a range of other features which are covered in the article.
It’s called iOnRoad. Search for it in the Android Market.
