Sheesh David, lighten up.... I guess you took my suggestion seriously...I was just joking. But now that you bring it up -
-911 calls could be made to go thru all the time, there could even be a provision that says if you're driving, you can make 911 calls... (if there isn't already) -Cops beating up innocents, I'm all for recording that sort thing... it seems as if there is much too much of it going on lately, beating up, shooting etc, and the phones could be made to record all the racist incidents that seem to be happening with much more frequency now. -Make the EVSE smart so that it knows when the plug is approaching the inlet... no need for a phone. So if the phone says something like 'Danger Will Robinson', or whatever the owners name happens to be that would ok with you. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good.
