The pilot program, named Operation Bright Eyes, equips 500 NYC taxis with surveillance cameras to counter fare evasion and staged accidents. Leaders claim that criminal cartels orchestrate fraudulent accidents, costing cab drivers billions. The cameras, provided by Displayride, are easy to install and will be free to drivers for the first year through partnerships with insurance providers. Organizers aim to expand this initiative to 100,000 vehicles citywide. Drivers emphasize the urgency of the program to protect against passenger misconduct.
These cartels fabricate car accidents to the tune of 70% of every car accident for livery and black cars are fraudulent. They are making billions of dollars on us.
The cameras, supplied by tech company Displayride, are remarkably low lift. Installation takes just 30 seconds, and the system requires no app-simply press a single button to access footage.
Drivers say the need is urgent. A lot of passengers, they want to insult you. Having a desk camera is very important, because it's going to be recording everything around you.
