Security author Bruce Schneier notes that drivers under automatic surveillance have not modified their behaviors toward safer driving.
It seems to me, if you want to use cameras to penalize unsafe driving, you ought to be tuning them to enforce tailgating laws - get the drivers properly spaced in time.
I suppose in theory drivers might respond by neatly spacing themselves 500 feet apart driving 120 MPH. But that doesn't seem likely - I wonder what they would do instead?
