NYC Taxi Rides Going High-Tech

[HardOCP News]

The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission is mulling over a plan to put touch screen monitors in all thirteen thousand NYC cabs. Even though customers seem to like the idea, not all cab drivers are happy with the proposal.

The monitors are now in 200 city cabs as an experiment, but a plan to put them in all 13,000 cabs has angered many drivers. They see the technology as an expensive imposition that would cost them money and allow taxi owners and officials to check up on them.

Um....why are they worried about being kept track of. I think it's great. Less chance to be ripped off....just until the cabbies figure out how to have it steal your CC number....

Let's stage a heist to steal the trucks carrying those 13,000 displays. The New York City job. I call the black Cooper Mini.
