I have 100% thought about a drivers rating system where users rate other drivers.

Even better, not only notify insurance companies, but notify other drivers that the idiot in front of them is dangerous so they can react.

The touch screen in a Tesla could easily surface such information about the cars around them. That's great

> not only notify insurance companies

I can immediately think of half a dozen ways this would be abused.

The clique of brats in their daddies' Teslas at Sammamish High School bully the unpopular kid.

Black guy who drives through predominately white neighborhoods in the deep south.

Prius with a Harris/Walz bumper sticker in eastern Idaho.

Need I go on?
