    Abstract: A Digital Voice/Visual Warning, alert, and status system (10) alerting an operator of an automotive vehicle of hazardous proximity or existence of vehicles in adjacent lanes utilizing commercial off the shelf laser technology. The system includes seven laser sensors mounted in 3 housings in strategic locations on the vehicle for direct frontal measurement (1s1), front and rear oblique presence (1s2, 1s3, 1s5, 1s6) and side presence (1s4, 1s7), the laser junction block (4) the command module (5) and power source, the turn actuator/system on/status module (6,7), and the digital voice/visual module (8). When the system is activated the laser sensors follow pre-coded protocols, the data is processed in the command module and sends the appropriate commands to the digital voice/visual module. The device relays digital voice audio and visual information for frontal distance and the presence or non-presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes when the turn signal (7) is activated.
