Now Al trains its cameras on more than just speeding

EW AI-powered cameras being introduced this summer can catch motorists out for more than just speeding, drivers have been warned.

Car repair finance expert Bumper said drivers are risking fines and points on their licence from the new smart devices, which “detect drivers using mobile phones or not wearing seatbelts”.

Bumper warned these new cameras could have financial implications for drivers struggling with rising motoring costs.

A spokesperson said: “The system uses a multi-camera setup to capture different views of the driver and passengers, with artificial intelligence analysing the footage to detect speed-related offences. However, any violations flagged by AI must still be reviewed and verified by police officers before fines are issued.

“Initial results suggest the technology is effective - within just a few weeks, the trial cameras caught 590 drivers without seatbelts and 40 using their phones.
