Should we let cars use the road as a projection screen?

Does anyone know why we don't use audio for this sort of thing? Do we? I might have just missed it, not a driver.

I am aware of navigation/GPS of course but I mean for these sort of snippets of road info. The only non-GPS audio info I've heard is the bleeps in some cars that say there's a speed camera coming up.

Car: "40"

Brain: Aight speed limit is 40 now.

Car: "Give way"

Brain: I need to yield at the next junction.

It could even auto-pause if you're applying brakes or indicating / turning the wheel to avoid distracting you.

I know (or at least media has told me) that airplanes do use audio for this sort of info, wondering why it never made it to cars.

E: lol doubt I'll get a response, for some reason this post went from #2 to like #50

Not quite the same thing, but some cars did talk.

Many cars are well-proofed against outside noise (like the Infiniti I used to drive.)

I imagine it using the speakers already inside your car. I'm not sure what you mean sorry.
