In summary, the conversation discusses a new idea that involves adding a button to cars to emit a sound when backing up, similar to the sound when locking a car. The idea is met with approval, but some suggest alternative, simpler methods such as using existing car features instead of additional technology.

TL;DR Summary
A car horn for every need
I usually find new ideas being only useless gadgets. But this, I could go for it, so I'm promoting it.

Nice, I was expecting some weird sound and not the proverbial chirp.

I wonder if drivers will feel that they ran over something or they backed into something.

Great idea! It does cost money to put a button in though; people would have to want it. Many modern cars can already make a similar sound, like when you lock your car, for instance.

It seems like an Arduino, PA, and speaker is overkill though. I bet I could do it with a 555 timer, a power transistor and the existing horn.
