Bluetooth to combat drink-driving (British Police)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7773424.stm
I thought this is very interesting for the police to use the current technology and wanted to share this.
Basically, the police carrying a device and near the pubs or clubs, they send messages to the Bluetooth enabled cell phones. In this way, they say they can discourage the drunk driving.
I thought this is a clever way to prevent car accidents caused by the drunk driving. However, the counter argument was that it can increase accidents. The argument is.. if the drivers receive messages while driving, the messages can distract driving, leading to more accidents.
Interesting use of the current technology~!
