That seems like a solvable problem. If there's so many reports as to be swamping them, then just those with multiple violations would be reviewed.

- dmortin 8y agoEven taking a photo of the licensing plate is not trivial. If the robot car does not follow the violating car directly then its license plate may be at an angle where it can't be captured and if it can it may be distorted or angled, so a human is needed to view the footage (if a video is captured) to detect the actual license plate numbers, so automation can be a problem in practice.
- SquareWheel 8y agoI feel like I'm repeating myself, but that too seems like a solvable problem. A car covered in sensors is likely a lot better at capturing and remember license plates than a human. Even keeping a memory of the last 60 seconds would be more than enough. Technology-wise, Google is already very good at OCR. They even have algorithms to specifically identify license plates (as seen in Google Maps where they're fuzzed out). This seems more a problem of policy (how would it be implemented?) than technology. And that too would evolve as necessity grew.
