Photos: Driving safety through tech

Transmitters, sat-nav and VoIP take centre stage at NEC's R&D labs

silicon.com went along to NEC's R&D labs in Heidelberg, Germany, to see some of the technology it has been developing.

Some of the projects include technology to improve road safety, boost the appeal of IPTV and to protect VoIP networks from attack.

This photo shows the technology behind a car-to-car warning system. There are sat-nav devices at the back with receivers and transmitters on the table in front.

    Pic No 4 shows a large red warning triangle that might appear on one's sat-nav. One would need to be very strong-minded not to let such a thing divert one's attention from the road ahead.even momentarily, let alone to take in the "details of temperature and humidity" displayed below it.
