Ah, excellent. Let’s convince the general public to fucking dob on each other. This is totally going to end well.

I hope they have really good gen-AI detection available.

    People have been dobbing in other drivers for decades. But fining people who the police didn’t actually see based on video not from a police system seems like a stretch in this age of AI generated imagery.

      Right - dobbing is one thing. Handing in evidence then backing it up in court is another. The first problem I can see this creating is of people yanking dash cams out of other people’s cars, but I can’t see how this won’t end in increased road rage as well.

      well, how is this different from fining someone based on a report that the police didn’t see? (eg: littering from car)

    I fucking hate driving because of how a minority of others drive. Not the accidental mistakes etc but straight up psychotic maniacs: the tail gaters, the no indicators, the cutting in front to catch an exiters and so on.

    But holy shit this isn’t a good solution. Something about our roads and cars turns people who might just be kinda abrasive into homicidal maniacs. The solution is to find and change whatever that is.

    Spying on everyone is a terrible precedent and wont actually address the cause. When significant portions of the population do something the problem is systemic, you can’t punish/torture your way out of systemic flaws.
