Recently Volvo has partnered with groups in New York city to develop reflective spray paint for bicyclists all around the world. This will help ensure the safety of cyclists during the night, in which they are often very hard to see. The paint is already being tested in New York city and should be releasing in the near future. The paint has a very shiny white appearance to it and makes anything that it is sprayed onto glow white when a light is flashing on it.

I think that this is pretty cool because people will now be able to make reflective clothing that they can use when they are riding their bikes. The paint will be pretty cheap and people will be able to get a hold of it pretty easily which means that more people will be able to be protected while they are riding their bikes. The paint is also pretty cool because it can be sprayed onto almost any service. This means that you could spray it onto thing such as helmets and backs. You could also use the paint to make pretty cool designs so that people that see you while they are driving their cars during the night don't just see you as a guy riding a dinky little bike but as a guy riding a dinky little bike with a reflective butterfly on his back. I also think that the spray paint has a lot of potential to be used in other areas than just safety. People tend to have a liking to making things stand out. With this paint you could make just about anything reflective. I think that this could be pretty cool for some visual effects with things such as sunsets and could be a pretty cool tool for people who are creating light shows. I also think that reflective spray paint could be used for other things such as cool paintings on the street. Instead of using yellow paint to mark the sides and medians of roads, we could use reflective paint to ensure that people can also see the boundaries of where they can drive during the night. We could also use reflective spray paint to help illuminate road side signs during the night without using electricity. This would make it easier for drivers to navigate the road when it is dark outside. I also think that you could use reflective paint to make it so that cars are more visible during the night and during fog. If somebody forgets to put their lights on it makes it very hard for people to see their car. If you were to have reflective paint on certain points on the car it would make it easier for people to see oncoming cars that may have forgotten to put their headlights on. I also think that it would be a good idea for the company to develop a wider variety of colors of the paint so that it is more appealing to the average person. It would be pretty cool to have a car that glowed blue during the night. It would also be pretty interesting if the company were to develop a type of paint that was a certain color during the daytime but then changed to another color during the night that was more vibrant. This would allow people to have cars that are black but also have cars that are safer by glowing a different color in the night such as white. I also think that by adding a different array of colors to their arsenal the company would attract more car companies to their product, because they would be able to produce a wider amount of colors and cars. I also think that it would be cool if the paint were made so that it would dry quickly and be able to come off easily with the use of a certain compound. This would make it so that users could use anything that they may have or be wearing as a surface to use for reflection. This would make it more appealing to people because they would have to change their routine less to make sure that they are safe. People often give up safety for a large increase in efficiency, and not being able to remove the ugly and unattractive paint would be very very inefficient. I also think that it would be cool if the paint could be bought in little sticky reflective strips instead of paint. This would allow the user to be able to take the reflective strips off of their clothing and then place them another piece of clothing. This would make it so that the process of making yourself reflective before going on a bike ride or a walk would be more efficient. This means that more people would actually take the time to put it on and be more safe.

Overall, I think that it is pretty cool that Volvo is teaming up with other companies to make it so that people can travel in safer methods. I think that it is important to improve efficiency in transportation but I think it is more important to ensure the safety of the things that are being transported. It does no good to get somewhere faster if the content that you are delivering doesn't even make it to the destination half of the time. I hope that this technology is made better by introducing more colors and being more widespread in the public. I think that reflective surfaces could be a key part of making today's transportation more safe and efficient for everybody.
