Solutions:
- Create an app that reports directly to the police when something is recorded by the phone or dashcam. This app would act as a sleeper, this means that once the user starts the app, it will stay on with the camera rolling until the user turns off the app. Nowadays, people have chargers in their cars so the battery wouldn't be a problem, also unless the user says otherwise, the video recording would be eliminated so it doesn't waste space on the phone. In the case of dashcams, it would be connected via USB-Port to your phone doing the same thing with the exception that dashcams have Micro-USD memory cards already installed, this means that even though the recording is eliminated one the phone, it is still on the dashcams memory.
- A less effective idea is to work with Waze or like Waze in this kind of scenarios. Reporting something and making other Wazers corroborate what you saw might help on the lookout for the perpetrator, and help police to identify the suspect.
Hey Juan! It is very true that many daily reckless driving cases happen all the time. I believe that creating a whole different app would weigh on competition. It would be perfect to partner with Uber or Waze where passengers or drivers can report what they just saw. For instance, I have had my car side swiped before in a parking garage by a reckless driver. I don't know who did it and I still don't know after over 6 months. If someone witnessed it who has the waze app, they can report it immediately with license plate numbers. Think deep about the many different scenarios that may happen.
ReplyDeleteHey Juan,
ReplyDeleteI see reckless driving every day especially when it comes to people running red lights! I have had instances where I wish I could call the cops on someone who is driving absolutely insane! I love the idea for your app because I would use it. The only potential conflict, at least in Florida, is the last law that passed regarding phones while driving. It would make it more difficult for drivers, if there were no passengers to record, to report the bad drivers. Good idea though!
