New Technology Will Use AI Speed Cameras Can ‘Spy Inside’ Your Car

Technology is great! Except when it’s used to control and monitor everything we do. And now new AI speed cameras are being installed on road that will be able to spy inside our cars. These new cameras are set to be rolled out across the U.S. to catch motorists using mobile phones at the wheel or failing to wear seatbelts. This invasive technology is being rolled out in the UK first and will make its way across other countries not soon after.

The new AI technology is enabling police not only to catch speeding drivers but also clampdown on motorists distracted by their phones even if they have them on their lap while at the wheel.

The move has raised privacy concerns before these AI cameras become a substitute for traffic officers stopping suspect motorists who might also be drunk driving, or speeding or and traffic violation. You will get a ticket or potential arrest for an offense by simply snapping images. This sounds like a nightmare at best.

At least a quarter of the 44 police forces in England, Wales, and Scotland are already deploying cameras which can catch motorists using mobile phones at the wheel. If caught, drivers holding a handheld device behind the wheel can face six penalty points and a £200 fine ($250), increasing to £1,000 ($1300) and a driving ban if taken to court.

Eleven police forces have deployed roadside cameras, developed by Acusensus, which capture images of vehicles as they pass. One is from a shallow angle to see a phone at the driver’s ear, and a second taken from a steep angle detects the device if it is on their lap.

AI software analyses all the images and flags those where the driver is suspected of holding a mobile phone or not wearing a seatbelt. Encrypted what-are-called “violation packages” are sent to police to decide whether to prosecute.

Thanks for watching!
