Oki Phone Alerts Pedestrians

Fancy a phone that passively detects vehicle threats around you and alerting you of potential dangers? Well, Oki has done such a thing with their new phone which issues alerts to pedestrians whenever they're near a DSRC-based automotive communication device-equipped vehicle.
