ADHD brain just recalled that similar concept was used for traffic jams being sent along FM radio signal.

Not talking about stuff that would automatically change the FM station to the one with traffic announcements.

Our ~2012 Škoda Octavia had typical Volkswagen Audi Group navigation built in. It would receive data about traffic jams in the background, and incorporate it into route/navigation decisions.

Not sure if switch from FM to DAB carried that over too. Kind of doubtful since mobile phones took over navigation even before Android/iOS Auto stuff showed up.
