Germany’s federal government and state authorities support the use of cameras designed to detect drivers using mobile phones at the wheel. The systems would rely on artificial intelligence to identify potential violations automatically.
The proposal concerns traffic-monitoring cameras capable of recognizing handheld phone use by motorists. The available information does not specify where the cameras would be deployed, how the technology would operate in practice or what penalties could follow an identification.
The initiative places automated detection of distracted driving on the agenda as authorities consider technological tools for road-traffic enforcement.
