Drive to outfit Techno Taxis

New York has started the process of placing technological enhancements inside yellow cabs by asking companies to submit ideas on how best to use the instruments, according to the NY Post.

"The Taxi and Limousine Commission has put out a "request for information" as a way of soliciting feedback from companies and gauging the options available to the agency.

The enhancements that would go in each cab include Global Positioning Systems, credit/debit-card machines, text-messaging abilities and electronic maps in the back seat so passengers can track their location."
