Apps can provide lots of extra functionality and convenience in our lives, but sometimes you wonder if they have been created for no reason other than to see how many people will actually download it. Today Gizmodo featured a piece on an app that allows you to “safely cross the street with an app that watches for traffic.” RUFKM?

Okay, we know people love to walk down the street, across the street, and basically do anything – including drive. But for two research teams at two different universities took their time to develop this app – and make the video below. Great use of incredible minds, no?

My favorite comment by rl78 from Gizmodo:

Audible warning should be look up you stupid f***!
