T-Pain’s auto-tuned voice will guide you through traffic

Kevin Bruce Francisco

There have been a lot of famous identities that gave their voice as assistants for the traffic navigation app Waze. Now, it’s time to auto-tune your way through EDSA since T-Pain is here to give you a heads-up of the latest events on the road.

We remember T-Pain as the artist that popularized the auto-tune effect applied to the voice to have that robotic effect. We’ve also seen T-Pain appear in hit tracks like “I’m on a Boat”.

To get him to start telling you where the next police is, simply open your Waze app and head to the settings menu and look for Sound>Navigation Guidance. From the selection, hit T-Pain and the app will begin to download the new prompts.

Of course, it’s better  to do all that at home and download thru Wi-Fi than while driving — saves both data and is way safer.

MMDA to re-implement No-Contact Traffic Apprehension Policy

Starting tomorrow, April 15, 2016, MMDA will re-implement the No-Contact Traffic Apprehension Policy that utilizes close circuit television (CCTV) cameras for motorists committing traffic violations.

Metro Manila Council, which is MMDA’s policy-making body, recently passed a resolution to send notice to the vehicle’s owner or operator telling them of their violations. The specific time, date, and place will be included as well as the traffic violation committed.

After which, the motorist could still contest to the MMDA-Traffic Adjudication Division (TAD) about the violation no longer than seven days upon receipt of the notice.

“Within 15 days from receipt of the adverse TAD resolution, the driver may still file a motion for reconsideration (MR). If the MR is denied, the driver may further file an appeal before the Office of the Chairman where the decision shall be final and executory,” MMDA posts on their page.

After proceeding, the violator will have to pay the fine once the final notice has been received. Failure to do so will force the MMDA to include the violator’s plate number in the Alarm list and will then be sent to the Land Transportation Office (LTO).

Individuals with cars in the said list would not be able to renew their vehicle registration until they settle the fine.

GrabCar’s Assignment Feature guarantees rides for its users

GrabTaxi on its Facebook page announces that all GrabCar drivers are now on Assignment Feature which means a subscriber is guaranteed to an exclusive ride to the nearest available driver.

What this basically does is to somehow push their drivers to accept bookings from passengers as long as they’re available. Failure to maintain a 4/5 acceptance rating is bad news for them and once a driver ignores a request, he will automatically be invisible to other potential passengers on the app. As for how long, we’re not quite sure.

Nevertheless, this is good news for the passengers as they can somehow rest assured that once they book a service from GrabCar, they wouldn’t have to wait long if there’s an available operator nearby.
