China’s traffic police are using AI smart glasses to identify vehicles in seconds, reduce inspection time, and improve road safety.
One of the most important features of these glasses is automatic license plate recognition. The system works offline with an accuracy rate of over 99% and delivers results in under one second.
…
Once the system identifies a vehicle, the glasses connect to the public security traffic database in real time and pull up details such as registration information, inspection status, and violation records.
China over here making tech that connects to public databases even when offline. Impressive.
if it’s just all text for basic information you definitely can store all of them in a single SD card.
Imagine all the privacy relevant data contained therein
Probably about 350 million passenger vehicles in China. That’s a lot of data.

Nah, the US is also using cameras and questionable AI for tracking
Yeah over here ICE wears those while beating citizens with inaccurate metal replicas of The “Constitooshun”.
Sounds like they’re living in 1984 to me

Imagine sacrificing everybody’s privacy to “make jobs easier” for cops in an techno-authoritarian police state.
Personally, I’m not interested in how easy cop’s jobs are, only how good the quality of people’s lives are.

Yes, great point. Previously there was a limitation on how easily cops could find a reason to harass you and now there isn’t. There’s literally zero difference between those scenarios.
If you need technology to help you read a license plate then I’m not surprised you don’t understand the ramifications of sweeping AI identification and tracking being used, especially in a country with poor civil rights protections.
What really blows my mind is that some people have such a shallow, surface level understanding of the potential impact of technology on society.

They can identify drivers instantly, thereby reducing privacy immeasurably. I say the same about speed cameras, and if they were installed everywhere the world would be much closer to 1984. Have you read that book?

I have no clue how you’re missing the difference between a cop moving their head from side to side to id dozens of individuals and manually typing shit in to id one at a time.
You are coming off like a bootlicker. And I guess you answered my question despite having tried to ignore it. You didn’t read it

Do you really think cops sit there and manually type in every license plate?
They cannot possibly do that. That’s my entire point. I have no idea what you’re arguing about other than you’re mad someone thinks this invades privacy which it 1000% does.
I mean, our police do this, it’s just built into their vehicles. Additionally, you apparently haven’t heard of ICE using facial recognition to assault people.
Can’t lie that’s pretty cool
