The only technology needed to solve bad/dangerous driving is a cheap camera phone.
Allow people to turn in video of people violating traffic laws in public places for money. Receive more money if it leads to prosecution/fine.
Rewards split amongst all who submit videos.
Big bonus if person is DUI/OUI/OWI prosecuted.
If it's too much to have just anyone do this, then have some sort of minimal-requirements program where you sign up, pay $X, get registered and a permit, and do it.
This can help homeless people.
- lukeylunchbox 7y agoThis does not work. A similar system is currently in place in Shenzhen and it is overrun by scammers deliberately running people off the road and doctoring the footage. Many are making a mint from it.
- xur17 7y agoYou could sit at intersections and make bank recording videos of people driving through. So many people are holding their phone in the hand and interacting with it.
- hnick 7y agoAbsolutely. Give the public a cut of the fine, have some rules to avoid abuse, and we'd all be buying dashcams. It'll help so much. A friend told me Taiwan did something similar to great effect (perhaps it was for littering from vehicles) but I'm struggling to find a reference.
