Methods and systems for increasing vehicular safety
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- assigning at a processor an initial driving score S(V) to a vehicle V which is being driven;
receiving a report at a communication system controlled by the processor, the report comprising a report of a reckless driving incident in a vicinity of the vehicle V;
incrementing S(V) by the processor upon receipt of the report of the reckless driving incident;
decreasing S(V) by the processor for every unit of driving the vehicle V is driven; and
broadcasting the value of S(V) to other vehicles by the communication system controlled by the processor.
