It's not glamorous, but this type of AI tech will help keep the bus lanes ("express sidewalks") clear for buses.
This is great for loads of reasons - another being the paid fines can go back to operators/agencies as a revenue stream for transit investment.
Finally, a use of AI that seems to be for the public good! Note the use of cameras mounted on city vehicles is also being trialed in Chicago to ticket drivers blocking bike lanes. Will be interesting to see if it’s effective.
