Make the company liable and they’ll come up with their own way to prevent or mitigate this. Their business model is causing this, it’s their job to fix it.
Fine them a punitive amount per occurrence. It’s probably not cheap to discover and we probably only find a fraction of them so the cost must consider that. It must also be high enough to either incentivize a fix or fully cover repair.
We had same thing in Greece but with scooters. People used to steal them and throw them in the sea. Crazy.
Bikes like that promote some of the worst aspects of bicycle culture - inexperienced riders doing high speed with zero regard for where they park once the ride is over. Obviously the bikes shouldn’t be tossed in the water, the entire business model should be tossed out.
Drago? Drago? Did you get away safely from that Lime Lawyer?
Lets also address the pollution caused by road runoff.
And all the untreated waste that gets dumped into the rivers as well.
That is being addressed 👍🏼
What about the agricultural runoff? That makes it into drinking water.
I’m unaware of what action is being taken to curb agricultures impacts from not only land but also intensive farming such as chicken farms.
Install 360° cameras, film those assholes and make them pay for retrieval.
The problem is it’s done by folk that don’t pay and probably covering their face. The fact the company thinks it’s cheaper to lose bikes than pay rent for land for stations to secure the bikes between customers is the problem. They don’t care.
The modern bikes need an account with valid fiscal info to unlock. There is no way to “not pay”.
Sounds nice until you think about the implications for everyone that doesn’t vandalize or destroy these bikes. I’m most certainly not going to rent one if it has 360° surveillance capabilities.
The recording nedds to be saved only when the accelerometer detects the bike being thrown.
Yes totally. I would trust any company to always do this the right way. And there would never be an incident where some footage gets leaked, or passed around the office. “Oops there must have been a malfunction”.
Yes like Amazon AND Google haven’t been caught saving private conversations that their voice assistants recorded totally unintentionally even though they weren’t triggered. They did totally say “sorry” and won’t do it again, ever. Right? Right?
Sure, if you live in a shithole country like the US or a wanna-be-shithile country like the UK, companies can just trample you privacy. But in the EU, privacy is protected and you can easily introduce legislation that any non-government surveillance needs to be set up in a way that makes automatic permanent surveillance impossible.
Sounds like a lot of technology on something that can and will be trashed by the public.
So constant 360° surveillance?
You only need to save the recording when the bike’s accelerometer detects the bike being thrown.
…or have decent security on them that can’t be broken by a 12yo.
