Operating a smartphone while driving a car can lead to an accident. Police in New South Wales, Australia, said they developed an AI camera that automatically detects drivers who are fiddling with their smartphones while driving.
In this system, an infrared camera automatically detects and shoots a vehicle, and AI displays an image that the driver determines that the driver is operating a smartphone. Of course, as AI alone may misdiagnose, humans do another investigation on the displayed image. It is said that this system is prepared for both permanent installation type and mobile type.
Since it’s in the early stages of the test, it’s a warning for the first three months or first offenders, but after that, a $344 fine and five points accumulate. Penalties are heavier in the school zone, so the fine increases to $457, and during holidays such as weekends, year-end and New Year holidays, and Easter, the penalty is doubled to 10 points. In New South Wales, the license is suspended for a cumulative 14 points according to the license ranking.
State light railroad authorities expect to reduce accidents accordingly. According to the state, it will prevent 100 deaths or serious injuries over five years. However, if AI and human judgment are wrong and the violation is notified, it may be quite cumbersome for the driver. In order to reverse the judgment, the driver must prove that it is not a violation. Related information can be found here .
