AI & Technology

AI-powered cameras are the latest technology adopted to monitor and fine drivers committing violations such as not wearing a seatbelt. These monitoring systems are now active on highways across states including São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Espírito Santo. In the areas where they are already in use — such as on Rodovia Governador Dr. Adhemar Pereira de Barros (SP-340) in Campinas (SP) — the technology has made a measurable difference in driver behavior. Fines for seatbelt non-compliance dropped 12.6% between January and May 2026, according to Renovias, the company that operates that stretch of road. Where is the technology already up and running? What violations can it detect? Who issues the fines, and how is the data protected? Visit TecMundo for the full story!
