here's an example of technology used to detect gunfire, in in washington d.c. there's about 300 sensors around the city. this is put out by the washington post, the dark area is where there have been the most shots, which is surprisingly large number of gunfire in d.c. one interesting thing is in 2011 the white house was hit by gunfire. it was discovered that there was a bullet in the white house, the question is why did the city that has all of these shots fired sensors, why did this not protect? the answer is nobody thought to put the sensors around the white house or around the high-income areas of washington d.c. so it was never measured. so the technology that was available was never put in this area. we need to talk about collaboration coronation. one interesting question for government right now, especially his staff himself why didn't we create it? if you think about it the problem over try to solve, matching passengers to drivers was really a tax problem was something that cities and states knew they had, their familiar with rolling out technology and
