For now, this system that is basically responsible for blocking the visibility of driversis being tested on commercial vehicles that are improperly parked in residential areas, specifically in the Queens area.
Barnacle is a device that unfolds like a kind of book to stick to the windshield of a car. This is achieved through two giant suction cups that are connected to an autonomous pump, which makes it impossible for the driver to see through the windshield, in addition to preventing him from removing it. It even has the ability to exert more or less pressure depending on the ambient temperature.
Colin J. Heffron, CEO of Barnacle Parking, the company that created this system based in New Jersey, shared with the media CBS News that In order to remove the device it is necessary to scan the QR code that appears on the device, later enter the information from the car license plates and pay the corresponding fine.
Once the payment of US$185 is recorded, The driver will be sent a code that must be entered into the Barnacle that will be released. Thus, the person will only have to fold it and leave it on the sidewalk.
The intention of this, the creators said, is that people do not have to wait for the authorities to approach their car to be able to eliminate the fine, but rather They have the possibility of doing everything themselves so that their vehicle is released.
New York authorities shared that, in the event that the person does not carry out the process to remove the blocking system, then Your car may be towed.
What happens if a person tries to drive with a Barnacle lock in New York?
