According to Khaleej Times, Dubai Police will soon deploy an artificial intelligence machine that will be able to monitor drivers inside their vehicle.
The AI machine will be installed on police cars and will be able to identify whether motorists are on their phones, drinking, eating, driving recklessly, and detect wanted vehicles.
The technology is being developed by Dubai-based Com-Iot Technologies, a company that specializes in the areas of traffic safety and smart cities and helps government and enterprise partners protect and enhance the security and livability of their communities.
After analyzing the data from the cameras installed on the police cars, the AI machine will inform the patrolling officer on duty what the motorist is doing inside the car.
