A guest editorial in the NYT suggests adding sensors to post office trucks to detect, among other things, cell phone dead spots.
Interesting.
While we're at it, lets add water & power meter reading, Google Earth photos, and cameras to search for missing children.

Or do what Chicago city busses used to do: add snow plows to their front bumpers to help clear snowbound streets.

Actually, reading meters is not a bad idea. The water meters we're planning to install are not online, but are remotely readable from the curb. If the mailman is going to be driving by anyway, why send out a separate truck?
