Rafee: Grand Tour of His High Tech Taxi (Singapore)

Mohammed Rafee Bin Naina Mohd's taxi is outfitted like a geek's wet dream.

A cleverly hidden printer in the backseat spews black and white printouts; under his front seat conceals a laptop for anyone's use; just next to the rear-view mirror is his IP-enabled camera that sends what it sees to iPhones and other mobile devices. If you need to call home to Dallas, Rafee's got a VOIP Phone which costs next to nothing for a conversation. Need to juice up your electronics? There are two 30-volts plugs for you to plug and charge. And he's got a host of phone chargers for your mobile phone, whatever the make or model. Best of all there's Wifi in his taxi. So no matter where you go, you're always connected to the internet.

This is the grand tour of his taxi. And it's unique as heck.

I interviewed him for a CNNGo story at http://www.cnngo.com/singapore/life/mohammed-rafee-singapores-most-tech-savvy...

@thegoonist Yah. He became a taxi driver because he wanted to care for his father.
