Pamplona installs AI radars that detect eight violations

Pamplona is preparing for a June with more eyes on the road. The City Council will install four radar units equipped with artificial intelligence, capable of detecting up to eight different types of infractions. Each unit, costing 20,000 euros, will operate without a visible cabin, promising broader monitoring and fines for common driving oversights. The key to avoiding them will be full attention.

Hidden technology for multiple surveillance 🚦

These radars do not only measure speed. Their artificial intelligence identifies mobile phone use, lack of seatbelt, running red lights, or invading pedestrian crossings. By lacking a visible cabin, their presence goes unnoticed, making it difficult for drivers to adapt their behavior only when passing a known point. The system processes images in real-time and sends the evidence directly to the fines center. A technical advance that expands control capacity without needing more agents.

The all-seeing eye (that fines you for everything) 📸

At 20,000 euros per unit, it seems Pamplona has found the perfect gift for distracted drivers. Now, forgetting your seatbelt or replying to a message at a traffic light will be like playing Russian roulette with your wallet. The best part is that, since there is no cabin, you won't know if you've been caught until the letter arrives at home. A surprise that, like birthday ones, nobody asked for.
