Cheers,

reminds me of a similar idea I had a few years ago. It used an inflatable helium ballon on a wire which was triggered by an airbag mechanism. Inside the ballon was a LED. The advantage of the balloon is that it also works as a buoy when the car dives into water. With a remote control one could also let the balloon go if one cannot find the car on a carpark (OK everyone should have an unique code otherwise … ;)

Rob
