From “Car Coach Reports”
You received a traffic ticket for a violation you did not commit. Here is how your vehicle data can put you at risk. This is the newest traffic ticket!
You can receive a traffic citation for a traffic violation when you were nowhere near the scene. This is the reality for drivers like Jacob Rockwell, who was ticketed in Florida for running a red light while he was actually in Alabama. Automated enforcement systems are increasingly failing to distinguish between the owner of the vehicle and the person behind the wheel, putting innocent drivers in a difficult position.
The mistake can be so wrong that you could end up in jail! Yes, this has happened.
We examine how these systems create errors. Proving your innocence is not always straightforward when your driving record is targeted by these systems. We also touch on how new technology, including devices with multiple layers of intelligence, is changing how we monitor vehicle data and credit scores, often without clear accountability.
