We have all been reading about and updating ourselves in the exciting field of IoT. Transportation / Automobiles is one of the areas where good amount of IoT use cases are being explored in a big way.
However, I would love to see some kind of societal compliance related use cases. This may be a surprise to certain geographies, but however, may be much needed in certain geos.
Take example of replacing of factory / manufacturer fitted equipment / parts and using spurious parts or parts which are not in line with the Road rules of a country. Can there be a central control centre in the car which tracks and gives indication to the car owner, manufacturer, service rep, govt. authorities?
Can a car refuse to switch on high beam when it detects it is inside city limits? Similar to speed governor?
When societal compliance is no longer automatic or is in danger of flouting due to whatever reasons, can Technology help?
Or should technology only focus on profit?
