Bengaluru AI traffic cameras wrongfully fine drivers due to seat belt confusion
Bengaluru's AI traffic cameras issued fines to drivers for not wearing seat belts even when they were properly secured. The system mistook a seat belt matching the driver's shirt colour for non-compliance. Similar issues have been reported in other Indian states. Authorities have added human oversight to review images before fines are finalized.
