Artificial intelligence is making its way into traffic enforcement, with cities like Athens pioneering AI-powered cameras to catch dangerous driving behaviors. In just four days, eight pilot camera locations recorded nearly 2,500 traffic violations, including speeding, running red lights, and mobile phone use behind the wheel.
Besides traditional violations, AI cameras can detect seatbelt use, misuse of emergency lanes, and distracted driving. When a violation occurs, the system captures encrypted video and images, ensuring evidence integrity. Drivers receive digital tickets via SMS or email, streamlining enforcement without the need for police at the roadside.
One camera recorded over 1,000 violations in four days, highlighting how prevalent risky driving remains. The Greek government plans to expand from eight to 2,000 fixed AI cameras nationwide and add 500 mobile units on buses, aiming to reduce accidents and free up police resources.
Florida drivers should keep an eye on similar technological advances, as such systems become more common globally. At Florida Auto Center in Orlando, we value safe driving and offer reliable used cars suited for today’s road conditions.
