Estonia is phasing out stationary speed cameras, shifting to patrol cars fitted with artificial intelligence (AI) speed measuring, average speed cameras and automated enforcement.
Gonna get somebody taking a giant hammer to one of these real quick. Using AI to dole out tickets is idiotic, and going to result in incorrectly cited people.
Was the article translated poorly from Estonian or written by an AI? I had a hell of a time following. Sounded like they are moving away from something you could take a hammer to - ie using patrol car cameras instead of fixed position cameras. But then at the end
“As of today, we have decided that the owner of the road (i.e., national or local government in most cases – ed.) will install stationary cameras,” Loigo said"
It’s your take they are moving towards more stationary cameras but with AI installed?
In Estonian it’s common to say “today we do x” to refer to status quo. If you say “today we’ve decided to do x” like in the article, it can sadly be taken in two ways.
Also that part refers to the lack of clarity on who would install average speed cameras IF we started using those. Nobody wants to pay for them basically.
But the core of the article is an autonomous system that would be installed on top of police cruisers and send out tickets without officer intervention. Check speed, check insurance validity Check if driver is looking at phone or if seatbelt is undone. Same system in stationary cameras would work as average speed camera.
The insurance thing is just an API call, the other stuff is ML (image categorization) so I guess you could call it AI, but AI is not mentioned anywhere in the Estonian article.

Poor translation of poor wording.

Same, no, I think i may have misunderstood and thought they were planning to use self driving patrol cars.
