Pilot program's main goal to deter drivers from speeding past school buses when stop-arm is out A pilot program at the Sacramento City Unified School District is hoping to improve student safety through the use of artificial intelligence cameras on school buses. The District has partnered with company BusPatrol to put cameras on five school buses to deter drivers from speeding past buses when their stop-arm is out, which is a violation of law. "We use an AI engine named Ava to be able to automatically detect vehicles that illegally pass stopped school buses," BusPatrol CEO Jean Souliere said. Souliere said the cameras on the side of the buses take pictures of the license plates of cars that keep driving.
