Technology warning rain ... and the earthquake of Honda

Want to find a restaurant, a fuel station, a hotel, or just a destination? There are satellite navigation systems that do it for you. If you still want to know what the weather will be like, or how exactly the lane is likely to crash, or even where the ground tends to crack in half, then you will need to Honda Fit in Japan.

Honda's new satellite navigation system, in addition to conventional functions, can also warn drivers that rain will fall heavily at points hidden on the screen. Japanese car manufacturers offer this service free of charge, but the system is updated with data through mobile phones, so you will have to pay service fees to the telecom provider.

Even if it is just a small earthquake, the system sends an email to the address you gave you. You can not change the map of the system - the new map can be downloaded in just a few minutes. The system can also communicate with other vehicles on the road so you can know exactly what is going on like the approaching collision.
