New ‘Ai’ Speed Camera Scans Drivers Inside a Vehicle

Private and motor trade drivers in the UK have now witnessed the launch of the world’s first AI speed camera, developed by Redspeed International, a leading company in camera enforcement technology.

This innovative camera system introduces cutting-edge road safety solutions by leveraging advanced camera technology. The installation site for this pioneering technology is the A23 in Lambeth, South London.

Equipped with 4D radar and high-resolution cameras, this AI speed camera possesses remarkable capabilities. It can accurately determine the extent to which a driver exceeds the speed limit.

Furthermore, it has the ability to identify individuals who are using a mobile phone while driving or neglecting to fasten their seat belts. Additionally, the camera can assess the number of occupants in a vehicle.

The Redspeed website highlights that their Sentio camera can establish a connection with the DVLA and UK police databases, enabling the verification of tax and insurance details.

This functionality proves valuable in supporting the prosecution of drivers who violate the law, which could have impact on the vehicles insurance policy.

For reliable insurance advice and assistance with insurance policies related to the motor trade sector, it is recommended to consult your local insurance broker who can provide tailored guidance and solutions.

On the company website it states: “Redspeed Sentio is designed to be whatever camera you want it to be. “In combining several key enforcement applications and having AI at its heart, Redspeed Sentio has the built-in modular flexibility, capability and scalability to meet virtually any future challenge.”

Critics have been commenting about the trial speed cameras.

Alliance of British Drivers spokesperson said: “It’s clear that the hollow assurances the motoring public was given about speed cameras being used exclusively to prevent accidents was always a total sham. The objective is actually to maximise their revenue-generating potential.”

Head of Big Brother Watch, said: “This kind of intrusive and creepy surveillance, which treats every passer-by as a potential suspect, is excessive and normalising. It poses a threat to everyone’s privacy. People should be free to go about their lives without being analysed by faceless AI systems.”

With the capacity to monitor up to six lanes of traffic, this camera works in conjunction with other cameras deployed on the roads. Such advanced technology provides comprehensive surveillance and can aid in maintaining road safety of all road users.
