Artificial intelligence traffic camera detects almost 300 violations in 3 days in the UK

The camera, which is used in the UK as part of a testing program, captured 117 people on their phones while driving, as well as 180 cases of people not wearing their seat belts while driving.

What is known about the new traffic camera test

The first test of the new camera recently took place in southwest England, where road safety technology company Acusensus joined the Vision Zero South West.

They installed it on one of the busiest roads in the area and ensured that all offenses were double-checked by a human reviewer, according to information the report of the initiative.

This new traffic camera is just another example of how AI innovations can impact everyone's daily lives. In that case, we may need to start keeping our seat belts buckled and our phones in our pockets when we're behind the wheel — unless we're ready to pay a hefty amount of traffic fines.
