  • Patent number: 10217354
    Abstract: A cell phone method and system for logging and reporting on slow drivers in fast and middle lanes is disclosed. The system detects a slow vehicle in front and/or side of an automobile based on speed data from an GPS system, detects passing of the slow vehicle on the left side of the automobile using a camera and stores global position data of the automobile using a GPS system, and transmits the speed data, the images of the rear and/or side of the slow vehicle and the global position data that was taken and stored to the third party via the communications network, using the transmitter.

  • Patent number: 9836965
    Abstract: A method and system for logging and reporting on slow drivers in fast and middle lanes is disclosed. The system detects a slow vehicle in front of an automobile based on speed data from an OBD system, stores images of a rear of the slow vehicle using a forward facing video camera, detects passing of the slow vehicle on the left side of the automobile using a proximity sensor, stores images of a front of the slow vehicle using a rear facing video camera, after the automobile has passed the slow vehicle, stores global position data of the automobile using a GPS system, and transmits the speed data, the images of the rear of the slow vehicle, images of the front of the slow vehicle and the global position data that was taken and stored to the third party via the communications network, using the transmitter.
