LuxBlaster by TechBitar Gives Drivers Taste of Their Own Medicine
Meghan Young — February 26, 2014 — Autos
Almost every driver has experienced being bullied on the road once in their lifetime, unless, of course, that driver happens to have been born the bully; but since it isn't a 'Mad Max' kind of world just yet, people can now indulge in a little payback with the LuxBlaster by TechBitar, a company founded by Hazim Bitar. It is a robot that mounts on the back of the car in order to high beam the bad driver behind them.
An Arduino robot, LuxBlaster by TechBitar is, unfortunately, a fun project that will never leave the lab. It could be dangerous if used in the wrong conditions. It is basically a "dream road self-defense machine to combat rude drivers," Bitar writes.
