What RoadTalker wants to fix
- Routes that ignore real-world drivability and stress levels.
- Confusing instructions at complex interchanges or split exits.
- “Head north” style commands that assume perfect orientation.
- Systems that silently change routes without clear explanation.
RoadTalker explores a more human style of communication — explaining the “why” of a route, not just barking turn instructions.
RT-Mesh concept
- CarTalker nodes in vehicles.
- LightTalker nodes at traffic lights and intersections.
- RoadTalker beacons on signs and critical waypoints.
- PedTalker and EmergencyTalker for vulnerable users and services.
All of this stays in the concept space for now. Any future prototype must respect privacy, consent, and local law.
