AI speed cameras capable of detecting phone and seatbelt use considered by Garda

  1. Good.

    I stopped listening to voice notes people send me a while back. Either they are being dumb-fuck lazy in not wanting to type, or, more likely, they are driving.

  2. Finally some good news if it gets implemented. Far too many times these days you look in your rear view mirror and you see the driver in the car behind with that look down to their lap and up again.

  3. They really are just a roads police unit. Any chance of going after murderous gang leaders, burglary gangs and inner city yobs for a change?

    Maybe ask AI who did the Regency shooting?

  4. Siri’s and the Bluetooth car connection have gotten me out of a bind a few times while driving. Still feel like a knob shouting at your pocket though

  5. What is AI? Is this it, or has the term just become a catch-all for any new method of automating a process?

  6. Have them here in QLD it’s a $1000 fine and 4 points. In the first 12 months they caught 120k people for mobile phone use and 52.5k for no seatbelt.

  7. This is great but I honestly think distracting built in touch screen units in cars are a massive issue and causing as much distraction as phones.

  8. The Gardaí won’t even agree to monitor red light cameras mounted on traffic lights or bus lane cameras. There is no way they should be let near this mass surveillance technology without doing the basics first.

  9. If this consideration goes the same way as the Video portal, or ANPR, or Red light cameras, then we’ll be waiting for this a long time.

    I’ve no faith in that organisation adopting modern enforcement technology.

  10. The great part is false detections will have to be paid and appealed later in court. People not paying will be done for not paying regardless of why.

  11. Phone use whilst driving is ridiculous and widespread, but are people actually getting in cars without putting on seat belts??? In 2023??

  12. Iv a question. I use my phone for Google maps and put it on the speedometer behind the steering wheel, if a guard stopped me would I get done for that you reckon ?
