Soon, police officers won’t need to pull you over if you’re caught texting while driving. An artificial-intelligence-enhanced speed camera will simply notify authorities directly.
The machine vision technology company Movidius has teamed up with the Chinese security camera maker Hikvision to create smart cameras that can catch behavior such as leaving a suspicious package in a public place, driving while distracted by mobile devices, and break ins. Advanced visual analytics will also allow cameras to identify car models and detect seat belts. The partnership will debut a new line of cameras with higher accuracy than traditional computing techniques in China this week. (Movidius has announced its acquisition by Intel.)

Both search giant Google and the world’s leading drone manufacturer DJI have relied on Movidius to enhance spatial awareness in virtual reality and engineer the sense and avoid features inside drones respectively. Movidius’s Myriad 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU) uses deep neural networks that learns patterns from massive amounts of data in order to identify features in a video or still image. Its computer vision lowers risk of false positives.

You don't wanna know what I'm doing.

Does this mean the Alabama Air Guard ( used @ Waco ) or something will shoot Danke down for taking selfies while flying ? Guess that is starting to rule out having Danke fly me to Africa for Safari .....

Take a canoe.
 
This all seems very big brother-ish. I don't really use that term lightly either as I try to not be cliche.

But I mean. I want to get rid of people who text and drive too and reduce crashes on the road from distracted drivers. But I don't want to do it with machines that will detect you doing them. Sometimes the machines can be wrong, or in a worse case scenario, they can be programmed in the future to do more than detecting what you're doing, or where you're going, and all. I just would hate to see where these kinds of machines go on from here.

Of course, I could be wrong and more than likely they don't work at all, like camera's that are designed to catch people who run red lights.
