Venture capitalist alert

One recent early evening my friend Jenny and I were chatting outside a local coffee shop that's in a fairly busy little strip shopping center. In the space of maybe an hour, three people driving the wrong way nearly collided with cars coming around the corner from the coffee shop's drive-through window. We just looked at each other in amazement; how could they have overlooked the huge white arrows on the pavement? How clueless can you get?
Jenny had a great idea. Instead of just arrows, she suggested, why don't they install motion-triggered warning holograms that pop up as you near the blind corner?
I guess that would be the 21st-century equivalent of those spikes in the ground that would puncture your tires if you exited a parking lot without paying.
