Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.     While there may be plenty to be wary of when it comes to AI…here’s another application where it is doing some good.   Maryland based Rekor Systems is using the technology to improve road safety by monitoring roads and traffic for rapid response.   Executive VP Charles Degliomini…“And not only does it identify a major incident, let’s say it’s an 18 wheeler that’s rolled over unfortunately.  But even if it’s something minor like a mattress falling off the back of a Ford F-150,  so you obviously don’t need a full on response for the mattress incidents.         So it’s able to categorize those incidents as well as identify them.”Enabling traffic centers to operate  efficiently and respond quickly…which can be time and life saving.You can find us at Techstination.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
