As a gig delivery driver for the past 8 months, I was constantly making the judgement call of where do I stop or pull over when a delivery offer pops up. Most times cops were nowhere near me, but I could never be sure. And a $600+ fine was something I definitely wanted to avoid.
I’m also an app developer working on a few other projects. I wondered if there was a way to have a remote control mounted on the steering wheel maybe do the job of accepting or declining. Safely.
In doing research, and brainstorming with chatGPT, I cam across a Bluetooth remote that was designed to help a user take photos without pressing the camera or phone button, but instead pressing a remote. After finding out that the remote sent tokens that were easy to read by the phone, I realized we could take those tokens – main designed for volume control or shutter pressing – and adapt them.
