Driver Tracking Survey Findings 1 25th June 2020 Category: Uncategorized In a recent survey, we asked 30 companies throughout the UK for their opinions on vehicle tracking systems and the continued development of related technology. Of the individuals we surveyed, 65% were currently using vehicle trackers, however, 60% of people also said they would not consider adopting more advanced features such as driver facing cameras. This shows a large acceptance of simple GPS driver tracking systems which are now seen by many as standard equipment. More advanced technology however such as internal cameras are still facing resistance as many feel they are an intrusion of privacy. Driver facing cameras can provide enormous benefits such as being able to detect drowsiness and make recommendations to pull over. They can also be used as evidence in cases of accidents to prove exactly what happened. But do these positives outweigh the driver’s right to privacy? Is there any way the technology could be adapted to please everyone?
