GPS Against Crime
It’s maybe safer to drive in Japan in the next few years. Japanese car maker Honda, is set to release a GPS navigation system that will warn drivers from crime zones. GPS systems can already warn the driver from traffic jams and speeding cameras, but this new GPS system will let the drivers avoid dangerous crime areas.
The GPS system will pull crime data from the police computers, and show it to the driver in real time. The data at this time will include only the reports on cars being stolen or damaged.
The information will be offered to members of Honda’s “Internavi Premium club”. Membership at the club allows you to get real time information on your GPS system such as points of interest along the road, weather and traffic conditions.
There is no plan to get the new GPS system into the US. Car owners shouldn’t get upset about it. This pricey GPS navigation systems are an easy target for thieves. Some reports were also on thieves that steel your car and then press the “Home” button in the GPS system. With the help of modern technology, the thieves get to your house easily and take everything else.
We just wonder if the new GPS systems will warn from robot wars in the neighborhood.
