The Vehicle Alert System has an RF transmitter system which is activated by a steering wheel switch which in turn signals matching receivers in other nearby vehicles. Upon activation, multiple receivers on other so equipped vehicles will detect the originating direction of the alert. A single board computer (SBC) will then activate a respective speaker on the interior of the receiving vehicle to indicate the direction of the alert. A dash mounted panel with LED indicators may also be provided. The device is also capable of disabling any audio entertainment systems in the receiving vehicle thereby ensuring that the warning signal is heard. A bright front mounted purple light would alert pedestrians to potential danger.
