Hello Peter,
I am bringing to your attention several issues that are important regarding Janus Cam and the Taxicab Industry in California.
First, we have seen that those Cab Companies that have extended the resources to install Janus cameras and use it’s technology have experienced a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of claims.
Second, claims in the past that were deemed the fault of the driver and the company have now, with the help of your camera, been able to turn the tide and show that often it is the adverse parties fault and not the taxicab.
Lastly, the drivers. Originally, they were reluctant to accept the camera and were concerned about their privacy. Now they see, with proper implementation, the camera in many instances is actually saving their jobs.
As you know, insurance companies now offer a discount to those Cab Companies that install cameras in their vehicles. The evidence in the camera has become importantly relevant to the discovery of an accident.
I am confident that eventually the installation of cameras in Taxicabs will be mandated by most municipalities in California.
I look forward to a busy 2012 working with Janus Cam, not only in San Francisco, but all of California.
