WWW 2.0 for the UHP and DMV?
I commute to work - many of us do it, and many of us do it in Utah. We daily get to drive up and down the singular artery that is I-15. Well tonight, on my way home, I had a big jacked-up truck weaving and swerving around me trying to get one or two car-lengths in front of me in the heavy traffic. And then an idea/question came to my mind:
Would Web 2.0 work on idiot drivers?
Now many of us take advantage of Web 2.0 features through feedback and comments on our favorite restaurant or place of travel. We count on the masses of people to make our online experience better for us. (One of the definitions used for Web 2.0) But what about driving? Could these comment and feedback features improve our daily commutes?
What if you could go online to the DMV and log the license plate number of that guy that cut you off, or was speeding far above the speed limit? What if the UHP (Utah Highway Patrol) could use this information as part of someone’s record in determining if they would get a citation or just a warning? Now that’s where the collective would have more power.
Where else do Web 2.0 features integrate into real life?
