...With the development of dashboard menu screens, if a warning arrives via NWR (monitored in the background), it interrupts whatever is on the screen/audio and displays the 'map' with the NWR audio so motorists would avoid the area threatened. GM engineers were introduced to the concept - still await the desired results.

I'll think on this for a bit, but my first reaction is that all this "safety at any cost" is over-reaching and prone to pushing everyone to become like two women "discussing" the fender bender I passed on the way to work one morning years ago. It went something like thie: "You're supposed to look for other traffic! Well, I didn't look because you had the stop sign". In other words, personal safety slowly becomes someone else's responsibility. I'm against it....unless it can *easily* be turned on/off similar to the backup warning annunciator systems.
