As you may know, I have a rather lengthy commute. And as you can imagine, the behavior of other drivers on the road is often the most frustrating part of my day.
So I am thinking about buliding a new ap (what do you think):
While driving, you look at somebody who’s done something stupid or done you wrong on the highway, You press a button. Through the magic of 21st century technology, the ap electrically shocks the other person who’s driving the car who made the driving mistake.
Here’s the deal. You only get a limited number of shots. So you have to conserve the number of people that you could shock in a given day. But anytime you get done wrong on the highway, you can just ZAP.

This morning, I was driving on a nearly empty highway where two cars were driving lockstep in front of me going about ten miles an hour below the speed limit. I couldn’t pass. I was just stuck driving behind them for about ten minutes at low speed. That would be the perfect opportunity. Press the button and get their attention. And get them the $^&#$%#%^ out of the way.
I know that this is how people use their horn. It doesn’t seem like it’s enough. I REALLY want to grab their attention.
Obviously, there would be an opportunity for misuse. For example, I witnessed a car accident last week, and I got out of my car to help the person who got into an accident. And the car behind me honked at me. Can you believe that? If that person had the electric shock ability, then they would have shocked me, and that would have been unfair because I was trying to do a good deed. So I think that this app has to be given to only a limited number of people who are trustworthy or pay.
Obviously, as the app developer, I should be one of the handful of people who can shock people at will.
People can pay six figure sums for the ability to shock other drivers. (And then not only do I get the ability to shock annoying drivers, but then I’ll also get rich.“)
