I think the title and lede overstate this a bit: it was 2 bus lines (out of >300 in the NYCT system), and of the ~3800 violations issued, under 25% were incorrect.
That's still unacceptable, of course. But the proximate error here appears to not be with incorrect recognition, but with training/monitoring data accidentally being redirected to enforcement.
- Wowfunhappy 2y agoIt's actually much less bad than that. From the video at the top of the article: • The cameras issued 3,000 tickets which "should have been warnings." • The cameras issued 800 tickets for "no infraction at all". So out of 3,800 improperly issued tickets (!), under 25% went to people who were legally parked. The other 75% went to people who broke the law but should have been let off with a warning. As a bus rider, I don't feel so bad for them tbqh. I don't think we know the total number of properly issued tickets from these cameras, but it's likely much higher! > According to the New York City Department of Transportation, the city’s automated cameras – including red light cameras, speed cameras, and bus lane cameras – issue more than 40,000 violations per day. That includes many more types of cameras, but it's also per day!
- cute_boi 2y agoeven 1% would be unacceptable and should always be manually reviewed. It is too much hassle to report etc..
