They will tho. In the future. And because its a camera (black and white) there will be many false positives. And this is what the normal driver should fear. That the police just say yeah everything fineeeee and let the ai loose, this is just the first step into. I really doubt it would RELIABLY detect seat belt offenses.

See this is why I only drive when I am drinking a 20oz coffee and eating a footlong sub. That way when AI acuses me of being distracted from being on the phone, the human it gets sent off to for review will be like "oh no, he was simply balancing a sandwich on his lap while he took the lid off to blow on his coffee so it wasn't to hot, the AI must have thought the lid was a phone."

Besides, it also ensures I use a handfree device for my phone because face it... I don't have any free hands, I'm busy trying to find where that marinara sauce fell on my shirt when I was eating the last bite of meatball sub. (Add pepperoni and buffalo sauce) Have to stay legal after all.
