Alerting Police: Ford's New Patent Monitors Your Speeding

Your vehicle is collecting lots of data about you and it not kept secret. If you are speeding are driving aggressively your car is telling the police about your driving in real time. Your vehicle is collecting information about cars around you as well, and uploading it to the cloud. So not only will your driving habits be published but also that of offline cars that in proximity to you as you drive. With cameras this would include the license plates.

Ford has filed a new patent called "Systems and Methods for Detecting Speeding Violations" that reveals the company is looking at ways to "automatically snitch" on speeding drivers. Ford's patent filing with the USPTO details a system using vehicles' cameras and sensors to detect speeding motorists and report them to authorities.

Looking at the patent is shows basic sketches and flow charts illustrate how this technology senses speed violations, activates cameras to capture images, and transmits data to nearby pursuit vehicles or logs it to a server. The captured data, including speed, GPS location, and clear imagery or video, can then be sent to authorities for potential action. Ford states this is for police cars, but it can be used on every car. This is coming to all cars soon.

We have covered the next-gen AI traffic cameras can now detect mobile phone use, seatbelt violations, and other distractions. This is being used in the UK today and are being installed across the USA with your tax dollars funding it.
