If speeding is not something that happens constantly, then a radar could detect the instances of speeding, and only turn on a camera when a speeding car is nearby. This would keep the majority of passing cars from being recorded, and would record the fewer cars the fewer drivers would be speeding.

How long until the AI estimates how fast you were going based on the time you were tagged at 2 cameras? The system says travel between these cameras should take 3 minutes. You made it in 2:45. No review, just a ticket in the mail.

This is exactly how non-AI assisted speed cameras [1] have worked for almost four decades. You don’t even need video for it.

And if it is, which it generally is, it means the speed limits are not set appropriately. But that point always seems to be overlooked.
