Guangzhou 20 taxis equipped with cameras

On the 22nd, the citizens reported to the newspaper that they saw a camera on the guardrail in the back row of the taxi. "I've been monitored at any time in the car?"

“I feel that someone always sees you across a camera, especially in the summer, and if the camera is passive...” said Huang Huang, worried that the camera was used for “inappropriate” purposes. In this regard, Huang's friends have different views: "Actually, subways, buses, and highway shuttles and other operational vehicles have already installed cameras. It was because taxis had not been installed before, which made it difficult for some people to accept." Many "big-headed shrimp" citizens also said that if they accidentally lost their wallets and mobile phones, they would also be able to find out.

Ms. Lin, a doctor who lives in the Tianhe River and who lives in the Asian Games Town, said, “I always have to worry about unscrupulous drivers at night when I’m on a taxi. Installing a camera is also a kind of protection.”

For disclosure of privacy, Huang Sheng of Guangjun Taxi Company stated that the driver can see through the rearview mirror. The role of the camera for most of the time is to "better say" when the passengers have lost something or have a dispute. .

The Guangzhou Transportation Group’s Ge Aliang also stated that some people specialize in “touching porcelain” to make money. “If a camera is installed in the car, it will inevitably cause great deterrence to criminals.” Another situation is often frightened by the elder brother. That is, when the night master drove from the city center to the remote suburbs, he occasionally encountered robbery. A Liang believes that if you install a camera, you can really avoid many dangerous events.

Many of the reporters who were interviewed by reporters at random interviewed said that the installation of a camera in a taxi can largely guarantee ride safety and avoid disputes, but almost everyone is worried about annual fees. "A year's fee for use and maintenance is also less than a thousand dollars. I want to know if the money is paid by the company or the driver."

Taxi Company: How many sets of cameras have not been required to be promoted during the commissioning phase? "Only 20 units are still in the testing phase." The reporter learned from the Baiyun Group that the group is cooperating in research and development to upgrade the latest car-based intelligent terminal system. This vehicle-mounted intelligent terminal looks like a camera, but in fact there is a lot of hope: "It There is a telefaith release platform, traffic record monitoring GPS, vehicle scheduling information and call system, video transmission system, etc. It is an "intelligent traffic safety butler"."

Some brothers told reporters that several taxi companies are currently trying this kind of vehicle-mounted smart terminal, but some brothers have installed a camera on their own to ensure safety.

However, the taxi company frankly stated that this kind of terminal is a bit "costly": "The current test phase is free, but if you charge a fee, you'll have to pay a couple of thousand dollars in a few years. It would be a bit "expensive" if all the taxi drivers are responsible. According to reports, the previous budget was 2,000 yuan for 5 years, but it is still in the test phase and it is free to install and maintain for all taxi drivers.

The person in charge of the taxi company of Guangzhou Transportation Group stated that it did not issue a notice requesting that the camera be installed in a taxi, but only conduct research first. The Guangzhou Municipal Communications Committee stated: "There is no unified installation and no promotion is required."

Lawyer: The taxi camera does not involve privacy infringement. Beijing Beiyuan, an attorney of the Beijing Yingke (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., reads: “Taxi is not a private space, so installing a camera does not involve infringement of privacy. It is passenger and carrier’s Relationships, the driver can reasonably install the camera device to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers; GPS is also available, driving at night is more convenient, you can monitor whether the driver bypassing the road, which are within the legal scope."

However, he said that the installation of a camera and GPS positioning system is a normal operation, if this data is taken to trafficking is an improper operation, it is possible to pursue legal responsibility.
