Abu Dhabi Police will start using a new Artificial Intelligence-based system to detect seatbelt and cell phone violations by drivers next year.
The project was announced at the GITEX Technology Week in the Dubai World Trade Centre.
In partnership with Abu Dhabi Digital, the Vehicular Attention and Safety Tracker (VAST) system will enable cameras to detect violations.
