New AI technology has caught almost 300 motorists committing driving offences after just three days of being installed on one of Cornwall's busiest roads.

The camera was put in place by Acusensus, an Australian tech company, in partnership with road safety charity Vision Zero South West and Devon and Cornwall Police.

The trial follows a 15-day trial of AI powered cameras across Devon and Cornwall in September 2022, which caught 590 people driving without seatbelt and 45 people using their phones while driving. A number of other traffic operations have been carried out in recent years, such as when vehicle-mounted cameras were used by police across Britain to identify driving offences.

Adrian Leisk, head of road safety for Devon and Cornwall Police said: “When we trialed this technology last year, we were disappointed by the number of drivers detected not wearing seatbelts.
