Quotidiano.net interview with Alessandro Farruggia Infrastructure Minister Matteoli:
Before the Roma emergency, which led to the great idea of \u200b\u200btaking fingerprints a all Italian citizens. Now the black box for cars. Tomorrow we will explain that for reasons unavoidable rationalization, efficiency and cost reduction, the plant will need a chip under the skin every citizen. A chip that will serve as your identification card, passport, health card, credit card and the black box. All this to our advantage, of course. Add soldiers to the streets for our safety, and the picture is complete.not believe that the deterrent effect of penalty points system is running out and that serves more severe? "
There is no doubt that there should be more stringent. We need more checks and need a cultural change that can not go to college, where, and I'll talk to my colleague Gelmini, you must take road safety education as a subject itself. And then serves technology ...".
I mean?
"I wish that every car there was something like a black box. You record speed, length of driving time, any use of mobile phones without hands-free and other parameters that technicians can locate. Maybe you can interface with radio signals near intersections, stretches with no overtaking, or urban areas. There will certainly be someone who will invoke the freedom of the citizen's privacy. But they say that road accidents are an emergency and we must ensure that tragedies like those of seven young people dead in Salento should not happen again. technological systems such as 'tutor', installed on many highways to ensure compliance with speed limits, have been highly successful, and should be extended, if possible, to freeways. But incidents like Saturday night also occur on roads, municipal expressways. Need something more, and technology can help. Young people do not have the right but the duty to have fun. But we must avoid that can destroy itself. "
