When will drones start massively fining drivers for traffic violations?

Traffic police cameras on the road are not just getting bigger and bigger – the “all-seeing eye” is getting smarter and learning every day. We started with one definition of speed, and today they can already distinguish a mobile phone in the driver’s hands, not to mention faces. But the “big brother” did not stop there and took the most modern means of solving offenses – drones. And the details are in the material of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
The complex of photo and video shooting on the Russian road – even in the outback and on a country road – no longer surprises anyone. There are many of them, hanging in clusters: they monitor speed, markings, “remember” the numbers and makes/models of passing cars to use in search activities. They, too, are on the sidelines: the hated “tripods” have been replaced by special livery vehicles, which cause less aggression, but perform the same task. In general, it is common that it is not surprising.
Whether for business – drones. In one of the Russian regions, signs appeared on the roads with information about speed cameras, depicting a quadrocopter. An idea from the local government to make motorists think and slow down? Another “ghost”? It turns out that no – from now on the roads in the Krasnodar Territory are really “controlled” by drones. The most real flying cameras, which will most likely soon appear in other parts and regions. It turns out that now for the “flaws” of our driver, fines are sent directly from heaven? Like, I saw a sign, look up, is there an “inspector” buzzing somewhere?
We exhale – the future with the promised universal control is not yet over. Yes, drones monitor the roads of Krasnodar. And these are quite full-fledged complexes that legally send “signs of violation” directly to the “Web” – the employee does not need to merge the “contents” of the card into the conditional “cloud” himself. However, the “helicopter” cannot yet fly over the roadway and patrol a long section of the highway or street – it hovers in a specific place, usually an intersection, closely monitoring those who like to get into the oncoming lane and along the road to drive. It is used where there is not enough range from a conventional camera on a pole.
The reason for the “half-hearted” operation of the drone is legislation. In Russia, the fine must be determined in a specific place with a geographical coordinate, and not on a part of the path. That’s why, by the way, they plotted the story with the speed cameras – it was impossible to say exactly where the drivers transgressed. Drivers contested such fines, asking “for specifics” and were regularly acquitted. It’s the same with drones.
At the moment they can only work in a static position. And while the legislation is barely keeping up with technical progress, one day it will certainly catch up. Soon drones will not only appear on all roads, but also learn to patrol. But getting used to a new control method is better now. And the only way to “break the system” is to stop breaking. Especially on flat ground.
