Due to the fact that cases of injuries and deaths among users of personal mobility aids have recently become more frequent, some rental services for such “gadgets” have decided to protect their customers by forcibly reducing the speed of movement of electric scooters.
At the moment, the latest tests are underway with possible algorithms that could enable the remote deceleration of electric scooters. For example, the rental agency Whoosh plans to introduce similar measures for those who ride a scooter together. The ability to slow down a “self-propelled gun” remotely is also discussed if a child or a person who is in a state of alcohol or drug intoxication “spoons” on it. True, how such customers will be determined in the service is still unknown.
According to company representatives, the tested technologies allow not only to measure a person’s weight and take into account his driving style, but also to determine a much larger number of different parameters.
Well the idea is really good. In addition, authorities are still not sure how to punish reckless scooters that threaten their own lives as well as the health of others.
