This looks promising, they caught lots of other offences as the drivers ignoring the ‘minor ‘ rules often ignore more ‘major ‘ ones.

That would be interesting to see, I’m not surprised by the number of mobile offences but one hardly ever sees people driving without a seatbelt these days, at least in my experience. I wonder if the AI isn’t very good at picking up seatbelts against black or dark grey shirts and so returns false positives for them?

Semantics, pedantics ….. 🙂

Why? AI is a powerful
Why? AI is a powerful classification tool. It is used in radars to identify pedestrians, cyclists, mopeds, motorbikes, mini buses, vans, etc. All of which may have difference speed limits and rules.

“catch nearly 500 people
“catch nearly 500 people suspected of driving offences” The number of suspected offences is irrelevant. Did the AI detect any actual offences that were confirmed when a human looked at the photo?

It would be interesting if that was a typo and it should have read “All speed cameras”…
