I. Summary     The S.O.L. Meter, which stands for the Speed Of Light Meter, is an important device that should be integral to every vehicle, whether motorized or not. Its aim is to inform the driver of the fraction of the speed of light the vehicle is traveling, so that the driver will be able to account for special relativity effects. Without a knowledge of when to take special relativity effects into account, a driver could be confused by such phenomena as length contraction, time dilation, and in some cases, causality paradoxes. A quick summary of special relativity can be found at Einstein Light [1]. Naturally, any of these effects could be disastrous in environments such as Interstate 95 or the Autobahn. II.
