Entrepreneurial brainstorming session N.8: a speed tracking system, to the attention of..the Police
Thanks to this great idea, the police will track your speed limit through your GSM cell phone.Why do you look so unhappy?
Indeed, the mobile communications system being clusterized, a base station permanently tracks your geographical position to manage cluster handover. Don’t worry about privacy, you need to grant access to your GPS localization to the people willing to locate you; that’s why only the police can track you down without you knowing about it.
The system would behave as such: every time the base station locates your signal, your speed is re-calculated. And then, according to the type of the road (city center or highway) and its corresponding speed limit, you get a ticket if you go over the speed limit, and you get bonuses/points/credit/miles/gas discounts for being a good driver.
Of course, many people would switch their cell phone off if such a system was implemented. Which would be great to lower crashes due to people talking on the phone whilst driving. This is called a ‘win-win’ Big Brother – Good Driver system.
