While the latest technology doesn't
immediately identify drivers, it most likely won't be long before the acoustic cameras include facial - recognition technology that links to so - called social credit scores, deducting points for repeated honking just as China plans to do for repeat jaywalkers.
For instance, Oklahoma requires any
driver of a vehicle who knowingly approaches within 15 feet of a person who is in the roadway or at an intersection and who is wholly or partially blind and who is carrying a cane or walking stick white in color, or white tipped with red, or who is using a dog guide wearing a specialized harness, or who is wholly or partially deaf and is using a signal dog wearing an orange
identifying collar, or who is physically handicapped and is using a service dog, shall
immediately come to a full stop and take such precautions before proceeding as may be necessary to avoid accident or injury to the person wholly or partially blind, deaf or physically handicapped.
We know that when you are seriously injured, it is difficult to carefully and
immediately assess how the accident occurred, to gather information, to speak to and
identify witnesses and other
drivers involved, or to talk to emergency personnel who were at the scene.
