BRAND NEW AI CAMERA LIVE ON M6 SMART MOTORWAY - BEEN WARNED!

[@Chris-jy3dm]

I’ve been driving 50 years. Live lanes/smart motorways are the most dangerous invention ever 🙈 great content 👍

[@frankraw9991]

Agreed. And just a reminder for the long in the tooth and Mr GDB at 4min 4o secs in. The ''Klunk Klick every trip'' guy Jimmy Savile was the pedophile that our new PMs CROWN Prosecution Service released from prosecution back in the day. The Freemasons who you see smoking and texting without seat belts at 80, 90, 100 mph will get away with it as well no doubt. This new camera is just another means of money collection. We'll all be driving in cotton wool straight jackets soon.

[@pottacoola]

Slowing down road users on the motorway when there is no incident is dangerous, what this does is make road users see the speed limit go down, they drive past and it goes back to the national speed limit with no incident. They will start to ignore the 60 sign because they think its for nothing almost immune to the 60 sign in a way, iv seen this many times and can be more dangerous. You see a 60 sign and then when you look a mile down the road and the national speed sign is up and the road clear people will start to ignore the 60 sign.

Plus its so inconsistent i sometimes think its run by chimps, iv seen one motorway show a 50 then 40 then 70 then 50. Its like playing red light green light and someone is going to be bad at the game.

I feel like I'm gonna get some hate for this but I'm gonna wade in anyway. Honestly, I think if you have a problem with this, it's probably because you do some of the things that are illegal and that it's trying to put a stop to. There are plenty of signs on the motorways telling you not to drink and drive, not to phone and drive, not to drive when tired and all that stuff, but it's your responsibility as a driver to know these laws anyway. I agree with some of your points but I don't have a problem with the existence of the camera itself, and perhaps that's because I do follow the rules. I do agree with your points about safety in respect of breakdowns and it would be an excellent use of AI to detect them and flag them so that a human can work the signs to alert people.

@@gary63693 Real people cost money, at least that's how they'll probably 'reason' around automatic fines. Speed cameras and ANPR aren't reviewed by humans unless they're disputed, so I highly doubt these will be any different. Simply checking the reg of the vehicle should show its age on the same system they need to go to to find registered keeper, etc, and from that it could be automated as to whether or not that vehicle was required to have a seat belt, but that's an extra step I doubt has been programmed into it, the overall system that is. At least until someone brings this detail to the attention of the press or whatever, for being fined for not wearing a seat belt in a vehicle without any legal requirement to have them fitted. I'm wondering how many false mobile phone fines will be sent out from it mistaking something sticking to the windscreen as a phone in someone's hand, eg, some of the larger dashcams, digital toll boxes (whatever the actual name for them is that has currently slipped my mind), etc, mounted higher in the windscreen so from outside and above they look like they could be lower down further back, like in a driver's hand, etc. I don't know if it's the same thing, but I feel I heard about cameras for detecting seat belts not being worn before, and someone had a t-shirt with a diagonal strip as part of it's design that fooled the cameras into thinking they were wearing a belt. It might have been before cameras for it and they were trying to fool police officers with it instead, and eventually got caught for it.

Some of the examples they published from the trial were idiotic... Actually typing text messages, or scrolling through Facebook. Yes.... You could actually identify the screen content in some of them, and they weren't simply using Google Maps to find where to go. Personally I'd prefer more cops doing the job in real time, but these have a place too. I think they should be signposted clearly to warn people though.

@@fetchstixRHD Airbags deflate almost as fast as they inflate, if they didn't there's a risk of suffocating whoever they inflated for. As a result, they wouldn't be much different to knocking an empty heavier plastic bag out of the way to see again if you did need to move the vehicle after they deployed. It shouldn't be too difficult to find one of those police programmes where an officer has driven a car with deployed airbags to the side of the road after it's crashed in a standard nose-to-tail in an overtaking lane from rubbernecking or whatever. All the systems are designed to work together. The airbag is designed to fill the space between the dash/steering wheel and where the person would be held by a seat belt, not prevent the weight of the person from making contact with the dash, just the weight of a head. Sudden stops can see injuries from seat belts, airbags, etc, but equally those sudden stops have so much energy in them that the speed at which the person would then fly forward is guaranteed to be fatal unless they're extremely 'fortunate' in how they fly through the windscreen and have their natural reaction to tense up prevented somehow, usually why drunk and drug drivers seem to get away from serious crashes, being thrown from cars, etc with minimal injuries for the severity of the collision, and they fly out of the car no matter how many airbags that car has deploy in those collisions. I think the age limit is just the point at which the passenger gets a fine directly, but the driver still gets fined separately for *allowing* them to not wear theirs as a passenger, just like how a driver is done for driving with an insecure load, regardless of whether or not they were the one to load it. There's a technical difference in the thing the driver is done for when it's a 14 year old, but if you're the one being fined as a driver, it doesn't make any difference to your licence or wallet which it is.

My point is that a mobile in your hand moves with you so you can see and press the buttons easier. When something is built into the car dash, it bounces and shakes with the car and you need to hold the dash with your unused fingers to be accurate with your 'pressing' finger. I'm not talking about what is or isn't legal here, I'm trying to explain that it's physically easier to operate something in your hand than on the dash.

[@markwright3161]

@@tin2001 Yeah, I think it works through sign recognition and GPS to max out at whatever the limit is for a specific road. The sign recognition cameras have been around for a while, but when introduced they regularly picked up the speed limits from side roads and people experienced the car decelerating relatively significantly while continuing on the main carriageway past these side roads. The systems might be a lot better than they were then, but I wouldn't trust them myself. It's like lane keep assist, also mandatory now. There are often things you want to steer around for safety reasons, debris, large potholes, etc, and if you try to steer over a line without indicating, even if there's not safety benefit to indicate, or especially when that indication would cause confusion/increase risk, some systems are relatively aggressive in steering you away from the line again, which will put you through the pothole or into the debris you're trying to avoid damaging your car with, but that's progress! At the moment these systems can be turned off, but they always automatically reactivate every time the ignition is turned on again, and some manufacturers bury the options in a bunch of sub menus in their central touch screens, etc, so you could spend potentially minutes at the start of every trip trying to turn them all off every time.

How does that make sense? Using your phone is dangerous regardless whether it was at the lights or if the driver was warned of a camera ahead. If a police bike pulled up alongside and caught him on the phone it is the same result. “It’s not for safety if it’s hidden”? Do you hear yourself right now? The reason why it is hidden is because it is there to catch as many drivers as possible. Which is a good thing because it is necessary to have a zero tolerance for phone use behind the wheel and refusing to wear a seatbelt. People are warned about speed cameras because it is to slow the drivers down for certain parts of the road which have increased risk for collisions. Which hasn’t got anything to do with the drivers. Smart Motorways aren’t even that dangerous it’s the people who use them. Cause the average driver can’t drive properly.

They do show a lot more public safety messages on gantries in Scotland. I don't understand why they don't carry over in England and Wales too!

[@focusmicro]

Good!

[@sgraham15]

Operation ripple on the A1 were puling over lots of drivers last week using same tec

[@Bawdale]

It's for seat belt and mobile phone use at the moment but there is always future duel use as cameras improve. Will it have facial recognition?

Cordless angle grinder?

[@ross9555]

Shouts to the Mrs: “where’s my angle grinder, just need to nip out and do someone a favour” 😊

[@Jetstream-b5n]

I dont agree to crafty surveillance but as a driver for work and a motorcyclist this needs to be done as im forever seeing people looking down to text as well as sitting in the overtaking lanes doing less than 70 over taking no one using their phone . These people are the reason this shit is happening. 🙄 For safety's sake !

[@happysnapper6132]

All for it for catching peeps on the phone after nearly being hit with a 7 ton lorry on a B road swerving in my lane while looking at his lap on his phone hiding from view and and same on a pedestrian crossing not long ago guess will only catch if phone stuck to their ear ?

These are also all up / down the length of the A30... lots of them from just after Fraddon > Penzance, concentrations at Chiverton Cross and Chiverton to Threemilestone just outside Truro.

I wonder if you chatting on a 2 way radio they pic that up too, ie cb ham or 464 pmr radio . Totally agree with you with your thoughts on refuge area better detection on broken down vehicles, great video, regards mark

No issue with picking up people not wearing seatbelts and using mobiles. Also, you do see messages on boards about it but they could do it more i would say.

[@tin2001]

I dont actually mind these mobile phone cameras after seeing them working here in Australia for a few years... With the one condition.... They NEED to have warning signs placed far enough down the road for drivers to: 1) know its there. 2) know its specific to whatever it does. 3) know what its NOT for - ie not a speed camera, so dont panic brake and cause a crash.

[@policematrixx]

good news

[@rogerjones8069]

The cameras you speak about looking for broken down vehicles exist! They are being implemented across certain motorways already - SVD cameras (stopped vehicle detection)
