Uyu munsi, tubifata nk'ukuri ko igikoresho gito mu mufuka gishobora kwerekana aho duherereye hose ku isi. Ariko Sisitemu ya Global Positioning Sisitemu (GPS) yari imaze imyaka ibarirwa muri za mirongo ikora, yavutse kubera amakimbirane yintambara y'ubutita ndetse no gusiganwa ku kirere.

Icyakora, igisirikare cyatesheje agaciro nkana ibimenyetso bya gisivili muri gahunda izwi nka "Guhitamo Kuboneka," bituma GPS ya gisivili idahwitse kuri metero 100. Mu mwaka wa 2000 ni bwo Perezida Bill Clinton yategetse igisirikare kuzimya Guhitamo kuboneka, ahita akora GPS y'abasivili inshuro 10.
Ibihe bigezweho
Gukuraho Guhitamo Kuboneka byateje impinduramatwara mu ikoranabuhanga. Yashoboje gushiraho uburyo bwo kugendesha imodoka kugendagenda kumurongo, porogaramu zishingiye kuri terefone zigendanwa, serivisi zo kugabana kugendana nka Uber, hamwe nibikoresho dukoresha uyu munsi kurubuga nka LocalAtual.
