Reminds me that just recently I heard they equipped busses with automatic "AI assisted" detection in their lanes. In very little time they've issued 10k tickets, though.

Oh look, a use of AI and surveillance I can actually get being.
We used to just call these "Automated", nowadays we called everything with slightly automation an "AI".
I'm just glad they are not calling random stuff "blockchain" anymore
Computer vision is AI and has been called as such for a long time, way before the current wave of AI/LLMs. You can call it whatever you want. An automaton that can sense the environment, read information and make decisions on it is a kind of AI.
A tool is a tool. Main problem are the tools using the tools, usually.
They've had them on busses in London for years now. They seem to be highly effective. I'm not sure if they are fully automated, or driver triggered however. Either way, they have trained people that stopping or using a bus lane is a bad idea.
....I can actually get behind that.
Sure, but you'll get a fine for being in the bus lane.
