Augmented Taxi

This idea is a follow up to the pool robot which would intake things from the real world and determind its own actions depending on the state of the real world. I liked how instead of watching a our own reality in a augmented reality there could be a augmented thing in our reality. The customers could text a number saying "taxi" and using GPS the navigation would know where they are and there could be a text message relay to say when the taxi arrives. When the client gets into the taxi they will notice the artificial driver. Two inputs from the client is the destination and the money for the fare.

The customer puts there postcode / destination into the computer which is similar to a satnav because it uses the same technology. Using route finder software the computer can produce a route on road for the taxi to take including other information such as distance, traffic and speed area's.

Either up front or as the taxi reaches the destination the computer will give the customer feedback on the price of the fare then customer puts their money into the slot. The change will be given to the customer after.

As for the driver they will be a holographic display of the companies employee and could have speech or communication technologies built in. The driver must also know how to avoid collisions and other things that may appear on the road, to do this the computer will interpret the hazards in the real world and determine the best possible action, as shown in the second video. The first video shows the project of a holographic driving assistant:
