Using data from a scooter, Whoosh has developed and tested algorithms that allow it to determine if two people are riding the same scooter at the same time. Such a journey can be unsafe as it is easy to lose balance. Of particular concern in the service are trips where the passenger is a child,” he said.
It is stated that new algorithms are now being tested. If the technology is tested successfully, it will be applied to all electric scooters of the service. It is planned that the speed of the electric scooter will decrease and a notification will be sent to the application if the user violates the rules for the first time. In case of repeated violation, the user can be fined or their account blocked.
