Let The Nav System Wars Begin.

Face it, the commute many people undertake every day is war.  Sure, we'd like to think that everyone around you is working together to get where you're going safely, but that's not the case.  They want to beat you there and they don't care if it happens safely or not.  Some road warriors spend money on horsepower or height, others opt for fancy intel systems in the hopes of getting a leg up.  Sucks to be them cause the age of counter-intelligence is ramping up.  Two Italians have figured out how to fake traffic information signals received by many in dash navigation systems.  They can fictionalize traffic reports using an FM data stream that reaches about a mile.  Imagine being able to re-route cars out of your way a full mile before you get there.  That's even better than the ambulances have it.
