Harmony on the Road

City officials in Los Angeles, CA are toying with the idea of making everyone accessible to each other by dialing a persons’ license plate number. Using your cell phone, you key in a license plate number and press “dial” of “send” and it will automatically connect you to the driver of your choice through their cell phone.

“We hope that this ability will foster a feeling of well-being by being personally connected to everyone else. You can share information about local restaurants, scenic drives in your locale, favorite shopping spots etc. If someone is driving particularly well you can call and compliment them. If someone is driving somewhat carelessly you can suggest ways by which they can improve; it's all good.” If this works well, the Federal Government plans on expanding the project to include New York, Boston, Seattle, Las Vegas and Miami.

Police are bracing for the expected surge in vehicular homicides.
