This hologram will scold selfish non-disabled drivers for taking handicapped spots

Here's a problem that you may not even have considered before: non-disabled drivers snagging reserved handicapped spots and leaving those with less mobility further away from their destination. The problem is especially acute in Russia, where non-profit Dislife.ru claims that 30% of drivers disregard handicapped signs completely.

So the non-profit came up with what has to be the most astounding — and creepiest — solution: a holograph of a guy in a wheelchair smack dab in the middle of the parking spot. As the car approaches, a specially-installed camera recognizes whether a windshield-mounted handicapped sticker is present. This works especially well in Russia because of the prominent size of the sticker. If the car doesn't have the required sticker, the holograph pops up and gestures for the driver to stop.

Of course, once drivers realize that this is not, in fact, a human, they could continue parking as normal, but hopefully they'll feel guilty enough not to.

We're looking forward to the proliferation of this technology into other areas of transportation — such as the "tsk-tsk" of a disapproving flight attendant appearing the instant some idiot jumps up to open the overhead bins when the plane is still 500 yards from the gate.
