Drive Thru ATM - With Enhance Security

With the recent news that I keep reading on FB where it is so often that people got rob when they are withdrawing money from the ATM. Mainly this happen it developing and poor country.

While I am at Qatar, I notice that Qatar's banks offer drive thru ATM that are scattered mostly at petrol station. This is pretty  a surprise for me as if these ATM were located openly in a petrol station I am pretty sure the robbers would have drag it off or blow them up.

Anyway, I was having the idea that drive thru ATM may work in Malaysia with additional security in place. So my idea is to setup a room or capsule made tampered glass with safety tint  all around it, and the front and back contain a sliding door with the size acceptable for Malaysian car and not to forget CCTV as well.

How it works, well when the car approach the entry sliding glass door, the door the automatically open itself and once the car are completely got in (which can be measure thru laser) and using a floor pressure sensor it can detect the car is in the capsule and  the sliding door at its allowed maximum speed slides to close as this as to prevent crook sneak in behind their back.

Inside the capsule, it is attached with mirror in a position where the driver can see whether there are crooks hiding at the side or behind the vehicle.  At the given time (with display timer countdown) presume 2 minutes, the driver must insert the ATM card into the ATM machine if not it will assume the driver would like to cancel the transaction and want to leave due to security reason. OR with alternative the room is equipped with audio sensor where if the driver honk and the audio sensor (when it hit certain decibel) will trigger to open the front sliding door to the driver to escape.

IF all goes well the driver in the room withdrew his money and the money he took his card he has a time frame about 10 secs for him to wind up his windows and the front sliding door open for him to drive out.


I know this is freaking expensive but I think it is cool marketing for any BANK to promote safety to bank with them.
