Mr. Hal Stevenson:

I thank the Deputy for outlining his questions and concerns. Geofencing is a really useful tool but it is not a silver bullet. It is implemented by GPS, which means there is some level of drift. It is very appropriate for things like preventing people from riding in crowded squares where there are a lot of pedestrians or passing foot traffic. It is much less well-suited, and we do not use it, on pavements that are perpendicular to roads because the level of certainty needed to interfere with the rider in terms of slowing or stopping the vehicle is not appropriate to what can be delivered with GPS.
