DriveMeCrazy iPhone Ap Encourages You to Snitch on Other Drivers

As if cell phones weren't a big enough distraction already. There is a new iPhone ap that continues asking you to snitch on your neighbors. This iPhone ap is called DriveMeCrazy, and it might be the most hypocritical iPhone ap of all time.

The idea of DriveMeCrazy is you drive down the road looking for bad drivers who bring you to near road rage. Rather take it out on the driver, you endanger the other drivers by pulling out your iPhone, opening up the application, and then try to drive while reporting the driver with your cell phone. Of course, the designer of the ap says it has voice recognition to justify its use in a car.

The application issues a virtual ticket, but get this, it creates a database which insurance companies can access and use to drive up your rates. Just think, guilty without any proof.

As well, this continues down this path of using technology to report your neighbors. It's too Orwellian for my comfort.
