You asked
I have been hearing about the installation of AI speed cameras in London. The introduction and trial of these 4D AI powered cameras supposed to have the capacity to scan drivers inside their cars which raises serious privacy concerns.
Can you please let me know if there are any AI speed cameras installed in the borough of Ealing and Hounslow and if yes, please give the exact locations of all of these cameras.
I would also like to know who is holding and managing this data on us. Can you please confirm the name of the company who is storing this data and their policy regarding data sharing (I would especially like to know what companies or government agencies they can share this data with).
