Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021, and Disability and Transport: Discussion
Mr. John Fulham:
I thank the Deputy. There is a role for technology. We referred to geofencing earlier on. It is the ability for technology to limit or prohibit the use of e-scooters through share scheme providers in certain areas. Notwithstanding, as I say all the time, that technology is not a silver bullet, and there are gaps and flaws, as previously referred to by Ms Tinsley, in relation to geofencing, as part of the solution I believe it can be there but it still does not address the gap of the privately owned e-scooters that do not have that technology on them.
