This story makes me sad and a little angry. The bits that stand out for me are:
- The requirement to have a smartphone and mobile data service.
- The requirement to run untrusted code (granting whatever "permissions" it demands) on her personal device.
I think it's important that necessities and other basic services (including parking) remain equally accessible to everyone, not locked away behind expensive, often burdensome, usually exploitative technology products. I don't know if legislation is the best way to keep our society from being pushed toward the latter, but if that's what it takes, I would support it.
