Gardai are considering using AI cameras to track motorists driving in bus lanes, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone or committing other driving offences.
It is understood that Justice Minister Simon Harris is working with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s department on legislation that would allow special AI (Artificial Intelligence) tech surveillance on our roads, the Irish Mirror reports. A source close to Minister Harris said that it is currently being "considered" and that the Department of Taoiseach is "working" with Justice on the project.
A tender document published by An Garda Síochána over the weekend reveals that the state-of-the-art cameras at the heart of a new €100 million system could also catch unsuspecting rogue drivers using bus lanes or breaking red lights.
