Law enforcement agencies around the world use AI to make roads safer.
Distracting driving is one of the biggest safety issues facing drivers today, with new AI-powered traffic cameras that help police officers catch dangerous drivers.

Here’s how cameras work and why their use is spreading so rapidly:
From the “head-up” camera Australia-based Accucesus Take photos of all the drivers passing by – both the license plate and the front seat. The camera can be fixed in a permanent location or mounted on a mobile trailer and can work in almost any light or weather condition.
The AI analyzes the photos to see if the driver is looking at his phone or not wearing a seat belt. Next, assign a confidence level for how certain there is a violation. (If you are concerned about privacy issues surrounding photo stockpiles, we say that all images will be deleted in 15 minutes if the authorities do not take action.)
However, human discretion is still part of the process and tickets will not be sent automatically. When the AI flags an image, an alert will appear on the police computer screen. Officers will check the images to determine if a crime has occurred.
If the driver determines he is distracted, the officer will mail the ticket to the registered owner of the vehicle or pull it over the vehicle to issue a quote.

Minnesota’s patrol sergeant said he hopes the cameras will detect “tens of thousands of distracted drivers by the end of February.”
