Re: Why?
"What's wrong with a microphone, some sampling software, and clever use of heuristics to turn up the volume when the road surface is actually noisy, rather than just "when the engine is going faster".
Some of these non slip road are pretty rumbly even at slower speeds."
How about the nice rocker switch on the steering wheel of my Toyota, a volume control I reach with my thumb if necessary? I am of the "I hate data slurping" crowd. Although, as a person who travels less-used country roads often, a "The car crashed, send help here" function might be reassuring. You all have reminded me to check, I just got a new-to-me two year old car, so will bring this up at next service date. This is why I read The Reg, even though I am as tech-knowledgeable as a hunter-gatherer.
