Strangers Can Send Video of You Speeding Directly to Police With Dashcam App
According to the British Royal Automobile Club, a speed camera and dash cam combination is coming soon. The app will allow drivers to report each other directly to the police with video evidence for things like running red lights, failure to use a blinker, distracted driving, and yes, speeding.
Video evidence of a crime could be uploaded as soon as the driver who captured it stopped their vehicle to do so safely. The footage could then be "submitted to the police through an official video portal in less than a minute." Police reportedly were open to the idea of using the videos as evidence in court.
Can You Get a DUI if Drunk in Tesla Autopilot or Self-Driving Car?
Self-driving cars have the potential to revolutionize the way we travel and impact many other aspects of our lives. Since Tesla and other cars with self-driving features are not yet capable of being fully autonomous, motor vehicle regulations treat them as any other vehicle.
You are still responsible for your actions while behind the wheel. Whether driving a classic 1928 Ford Model A or a Tesla with Autopilot and FSD, the law is the same. If you’re over the legal blood alcohol limit for alcohol, you can get arrested for a DUI.

For some time now, Hyundai Motor Group has been growing itself into as much a robotics company as an automaker. Its latest featured robot won't scale the apocalyptic rubble of future dystopias to save/finish off humanity, but it will get people moving more conveniently.
The automatic charging robot (ACR) is designed to connect and charge electric vehicles without the driver having to so much as crack a window. After showing a CGI animation of the design in 2022, Hyundai has now videoed the working prototype in action.
A Data-Driven Approach to Elecrification
It’s best to have a data-driven integrated approach when it comes to EVs, chargers and electrical infrastructure.
Baltimore! NAFA I&E! You Want to Be There!
I’ll get personal with you. I have enjoyed a long and interesting career in fleet, first in sales and client relations management positions.
I switched my fleet focus to publishing, and when Ted Roberts and I acquired Fleet Management Weekly, I couldn’t wait to introduce him to NAFA.
I can only guess how many NAFA Institute & Expos I have attended over the years. But I can assure you that every one of them has advanced my knowledge of the industry in some significant way. I never fail to take away something important that I did not know before, and I always meet someone who has made a difference in my career.
If you haven’t made the decision to attend NAFA I&E, I urge you to do so. Please get in touch with me if you would like to talk about the investment vs the reward.
