AI-powered road safety cameras detected nearly 19,000 potential mobile phone and seatbelt offences during a two-week trial in the West Midlands, which may lead to future police enforcement using similar technology.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

AI cameras will soon make ignoring seatbelt and phone laws much harder to get away with. Fleet operators need to tighten driver policies and training now to avoid fines and reputational risks.
