Getting connected

The horn cried. The driver in my taxi waved his hand out of the window responding immediately. The car at the back snored to decelerate and aligned itself in the queue. The heavy truck in the side opposite lane passed roaring like a lion. A big nothing happened. Sure? Ask the driver at the rare end of my taxi and he will breath deeply before even thinking about it.

The car at the back was trying hard to overtook our taxi, when a pay-load was passing the other side. The car missed running into an accident just by a few milliseconds. Thanks to the taxi driver.

I don't think this is something great that I observed yesterday. It is a routine story in a car holders' life. Then why am I to waste my time and energy scribbling for nothing? Wait! Give it a shot and you will realize the importance of the signaling system here. I think it is the best example of a communication system which is managed through a crew of completely untrained, unconnected and more or less unknown people everyday quite equipotentially.

No doubt, the road signaling system is important. But the passage of such information from one driver to another within a fraction of second is a milestone. Particularly, when there exists no common livewire connecting far away ends of the thread! Really, an ideal case of Lattice communication to analyze in a management studies classes.
