nextgov-medium The Department of Transportation is using the Internet of Things to learn about U.S. drivers’ habits, Chief Technology Officer Maria Roat said during a recent conference.

Speaking Monday at the Executive Leadership Conference in Williamsburg, Virginia, Roat described the department’s recent tech investments, including one multiyear effort to gather information about driving patterns using onboard sensors and video cameras. These tests have generated 4 petabytes of data, she said, collected from test-drivers who spent about 1 million hours in about 2,000 cars.

YELP PARTNERS WITH FEDS, OFFERS “CITIZEN INSIGHTS” OF TSA

Fiorina is concerned about the “failure rate” of body scanners, not the fact the machines and invasive pat-downs violate the constitutional rights of citizens.

Polls recorded strong opposition after the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA implemented more aggressive “enhanced security measures” at airports around the country in November, 2010.

A Zogby International poll found that 48% of potential travelers would seek alternatives to flying because of the new measures. 61% oppose the use of scanners and invasive pat-downs and 48% said the procedures are a violation of privacy rights.

Fiorina did not address this opposition or the privacy issue. Instead, she said Americans are perturbed by government that “cannot get anything done.”
