Traffic Cameras Link to Cell Phones
One way to cut down on energy use and pollution is to reduce the hours commuters spend stuck in traffic jams. The Washington Post's Post I.T. section reports that a new service is coming to the D.C. area to let drivers receive live video and photos of traffic on their cell phones. The service, which relies on cameras owned by various highway departments, is also available in New York, Houston, Detroit, and Los Angeles, among other cities. No word on what this says about the danger of driving while watching your cell phone.
