Using the license plate as the communication layer is a clever idea. Most of these situations don't need a phone call or the police—they just need a quick way to reach the driver. The QR code makes that interaction feel much more practical.
The more people rely on it in situations like that, the less it starts feeling like a convenience feature and the more it starts becoming part of public communication infrastructure.
I imagine that changes some of the product decisions over time.
Yes, of course with growing user base some features would be added or adjusted. But now it's simple and doing what it needs to do. So next step will be to try to grow up users base :)
That's exactly the business decision I found interesting.
I don't think the important question is which features get added next.
It's the strategic decision that follows once something starts behaving less like a convenience tool and more like communication infrastructure—and I don't think I can do the reasoning behind it justice in a thread.
Happy to explain what I mean if it's useful. What's the best email to reach you on?

Yes, exactly. Even the police, ambulance, firefighters themselves can use it.
