It’s always interesting to see how businesses use technology. Some are more adventourous than others. According to a news report on USAToday.com, car dealers are opting for a gadget called PayTeck Smart Box that will cut off the ignition when no payment is made. When you do make a payment, you are prompted to enter a code into a keypad installed in the car to ‘unlock’ the iginition. In short, no payment, no car. Not sure how I feel about it from a customer’s perspective, but strictly from the tech marketer point of view it’s pretty smart.
