An artificial intelligence (AI) camera system caught almost 300 drivers breaking the law during the first three days of its use in the UK.
Although the cameras use AI to detect potential offences, all images are reviewed by a person, said Devon and Cornwall Police.
In 2022 Vision Zero South West conducted a 15-day trial of a larger, vehicle-based system from road safety tech firm Acusensus.
Adrian Leisk, head of road safety for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "When we trialled this technology last year, we were disappointed by the number of drivers detected not wearing seatbelts.
"The early results from our latest deployment show that there is also a problem with mobile phone use behind the wheel, which is both dangerous and illegal.
“We are employing this new technology to send a clear message to anyone who continues to use their phone behind the wheel - you will get caught.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
