New AI cameras which can see inside vehicles could soon be installed across UK roads after a successful trial.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new detectors were rolled out on selected routes across Devon and Cornwall last October with hundreds of road users caught out by the new driving law.<\/p>\n

The technology can scan inside cars and can detect if motorists are using a mobile phone behind the wheel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tool can even show whether a road user is breaking other driving laws such as not wearing a seatbelt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over 300 people were caught by the toll in its first few days of use with over 600 offences recorded over the trial period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The detectors caught a whopping 590 people not wearing seatbelts and 40 people driving while using a mobile phone.<\/p>\n

The Acusensus system is equipped with multiple cameras with photos quickly reviewed by officers.<\/p>\n

Depending on the circumstances, the driver affected will be sent a warning letter or immediately punished.<\/p>\n
