Bangladesh is one of the best example of it.
People usually don't want to follow traffic laws on road. Now that we have AI camera recording and AI fine system, people try their best to follow traffic laws. We are becoming Japan following traffic laws in certain areas.
Police usually were scared to fine million dollars cars (because the car owner might be part of something higher power and they could lose their job). Now they gossip on roadside and let AI do it's job.
To HN people surveillance is scarry. But to us, surveillance is blessings.

- greenhearth 4mo agoWhere does it end? What if it hallucinates you robbing an old lady but you just walked past her? Have fun getting swarmed and dragged away. Etc. when will it be used to frame political dissidents?
- enoint 4mo agoBangladesh is interesting because of serious support for automated anti-blasphemy.
- mhotchen 4mo agoOh wow I went and looked that up after reading your comment. Launched less than a month ago! Incredible that you're seeing such impact already
- downrightmike 4mo agoYay lazy cops who never did their jobs anyway??
- stronglikedan 4mo agoYet it is inevitable that people that are "part of something higher power" will abuse this system for various reasons that have nothing to do with traffic. No thanks. Slippery slopes abound.
- Karrot_Kream 4mo agoMaybe, maybe not. South Asia has a history of very weak government and I'm not sure it will ever, culturally, be able to stomach something stronger. From a Western perspective having experienced authoritarian states, it's understandable to be more hesitant but South Asia has just historically had very few rulers that rule through heavy-handed edict.
- vdfs 4mo agoWhat AI have to do with this? Traffic cameras have been arround since 1834
- hebelehubele 4mo ago> since 1834 That sounds correct :thumbsup:
- anal_reactor 4mo agoThe subtlety I rarely see discussed is that: - privacy is fantastic in a society full of good people - surveillance is the best defence against shit people
- trinsic2 4mo agoThe problem is conditions are the main reason for shit people. so its kind of a chicken and the egg problem. Its a both and problem.
- f-serif 4mo agoUnfortunately, this is the truth. I want surveillance cameras everywhere except my home (We have American surveillance at home :D ). I don't mind surveillance + Dystopian Sci-fi movie like automatic action. 6000 childrens were raped in just first 3 months of 2026 in Bangladesh. This is just one example how bad the situation is. AI traffic cameras proved, how civilized we can be, with proper treatment.
- ndsipa_pomu 4mo agoArguably, the shittest people are the ones pushing the surveillance, whilst making a big deal about how minor crimes are destroying us, rather than the billionaires destroying democracy.
