On your phone while driving? These AI cameras will snitch on you.

On Sunday, New South Wales began rolling out a system of cameras designed to detect drivers using their phones illegally. The goal: make the Australian state's roads safer. "Some people have not got the message about using their phones legally and safely," New South Wales Minister for Roads Andrew Constance said in a news release. "If they think they can continue to put the safety of themselves, their passengers, and the community at risk without consequence, they are in for a rude shock." The cameras snap photos of drivers and then use artificial intelligence to determine whether the driver was using a mobile phone illegally.
