8-11-26 - 9am - They Are Watching You Drive

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who's ever driven on Colorado's highways. The speaker takes a closer look at a new system being used to enforce traffic laws, but what they find is unsettling. It's a system that can do more than just catch reckless drivers - it can also potentially invade your privacy.

The speaker delves into the world of Wally, a system installed on C-470 that's designed to catch drivers who weave in and out of the express lanes. But what they discover is that this system is capable of doing much more than just that. It can identify and track every vehicle on the road, and even count the number of people inside your car. The speaker raises questions about the implications of this technology and how it's being used.

The company behind Wally, Bliss Way, claims that their system is designed to improve safety, but the speaker isn't convinced. They point out that the system's capabilities go far beyond what's necessary to enforce traffic laws, and that the state of Colorado may be using it to collect more data than they're letting on. The speaker also questions the company's payment structure, where they're paid a flat fee for every ticket collected.

If you're curious about the implications of this technology and how it's being used, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's full investigation. They'll take you through the details of the system, the company behind it, and the potential risks involved.
