so could potentially include e-scooters, should the UK ever legislate to allow their use on the road
The UK is already allowing e-scooter trial projects, we have one here. Over the last couple of weeks I've seen several of the scooters dumped on the pavements (sufficient to block access to a wheelchair or pushchair), two being ridden on the pavements and zero being ridden on the roads where they're supposed to be.
If the location data is sufficiently accurate to tell whether the machine is "parked" (i.e. outside some shops where there is plenty of room) or "dumped" (on the pavement) it would be great. Give the operator 2 hours to remove the dumped ones or the Council removes them at the £300+ charge per time. Of course that would never happen.
