A-Rix To Give You The Exact Taxi Fare
Have you ever been stiffed by a cabbie that didn’t want to use the meter in their cab to calculate your fare? Well, whether the A-Rix concept device ever becomes a reality, we might see a rather nice solution to the problem. It’s a tamper proof device that can calculate the fare with the help of a GPS chip. When the meter starts, it’ll record your starting position, and measure the distance amidst 2 consecutive points to calculate the distanced traveled, giving you the exact fare. It does have some rather nifty
features, such as location data being displayed, a clock, indicator for ‘hired’ status, and additionally a backlit LCD to ensure you can read whatever is being displayed. Are you currently happy with the ways taxis are run, or would you rather they incorporate something like that into their routine?Permalink: A-Rix To Give You The Exact Taxi Fare from Ubergizmo | Hot: Nexus One Review
