You know how it happens, you're driving quietly and
minding your own business when you suddenly find yourself
in a full-blown car chase with cops 'n' sirens 'n' all.
The trouble is, your car radio's still on the Home Gardening
Show with that lisping fool who can't say "secateurs"
without
sounding like a male lingerie salesman.
UBCo Electronics have devised an, err... device, that
identifies a little of what's going on around you and begins
to play the right music for the circumstances.
Funeral procession? Pachelbel's Canon, Mozart's Lacrimosa
or something Albinoni.
Short rush to the shops? Grieg's "In The Hall of the
Mountain King"
Car chase? "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" in furious banjo,
Sure, you can choose your own and add that but your pedal
pressure, speed and cornering forces will tell the device
most of what it needs to know to choose for you.

Speaking from experience, I can say that having my stereo
blasting dramatically appropriate music while I'm sliding
sideways during an ice storm will not improve the
situation. |

I'm sure you're right but the mental image works well. |

If it plays "road to nowhere" for cars on the North Circular, heading east, just east of Golders Green, at any time of day.... |
|

The same applies to roads leading to Swindon and
Yarnton/Oxford, I believe? |
