In recent years, many cases of taxi drivers being injured or killed have drawn great attention from the relevant departments. The malicious event two years ago in which Wang Li, a Wuhan "sister taxi driver" was robbed and killed shocked many citizens. For this reason, Wuhan City planned to install the GPS security monitoring system for taxis free of charge to protect the lives of taxi drivers and passengers.

According to the reports, Wuhan will finish installing the GPS systems in all taxis by the end of this month. But a new problem has arisen - the car-borne camera carried by the system will take photos and videos and transmit them to the monitoring system, which aroused the concern of many passengers about privacy infringement. The small camera caused controversy among people.
