Abstract
A communication system for use with an automobile having an accelerator, a brake, a cruise control, and a brake lamp includes a display, a transmitter, a receiver, and a cruise lamp visible from outside the automobile. The communication system includes a processor in data communication with the accelerator, the brake, the cruise control, the brake lamp, the display, the transmitter, the receiver, and the cruise lamp. The processor includes programming to actuate the automobile'"'"'s cruise control to synchronize with the cruise control of a nearby vehicle having an activated cruise control. The processor actuates the accelerator to accelerate or decelerate according to cruise data received from the nearby synchronized automobile. The system may include a GPS such that current GPS and speed data may be compared with received GPS and speed data to determine a proximity and rate of closure between synchronized automobiles.
