[Electronics-Talk] Warning about using Aira!

[Jordan Gallacher]

They changed and can tell you the traffic signal if they can see it.  Not a
bad idea in some situations.  I have one street crossing where I used to
live where this would have worked well.

Personally I don't think you should be using Aira this way.  Initially they
wouldn't do that kind of thing, I guess they have changed -- and I think it
is dangerous. They have no control over where you are looking,so it would be
easy to miss something, nor not be able to see it.
