News summary

New AI cameras designed by Acusensus to detect driving offences such as using smartphones and not wearing seatbelts have been rolled out in Greater Manchester as part of a larger trial involving 10 police forces. These cameras, equipped with advanced 'Heads Up' software, capture two images at precise angles to identify infractions, which are then verified by humans before issuing fines ranging from £100 to £1,000. The initiative aims to reduce distracted driving and improve road safety, with data collected to inform future safety campaigns. The UK rollout of AI cameras follows successful trials, including one in Cornwall that caught 300 offenders in three days. Velo AI, a Pittsburgh startup, is also leveraging technology to enhance cyclist safety with its Copilot device, which provides real-time alerts to cyclists and collects data on road hazards.
