  1. I've noticed in the last five years or so a marked increase in drivers running red lights in my town (Swarthmore, Pennsylvania) and that many of the vehicles have illegal levels of window tinting. I'm wondering, is it that aggressive (male) drivers are likely to get illegal tinting ... or is it that the tinting induces lawlessness via the anonymity it provides? Or are both factors? And then there's the boring explanation, that people simply can't see the lights through the tinting. #cars #driving #tint #tinting #windows #safety #traffic #pennsylvania #vehicles #trucks #psychology

    Experts explain rear-load and side-load trucks, from the first automated model in 1969 to today’s electric fleets. Every truck repeats the collection process hundreds of times per route before heading to a landfill.

  11. AI-Equipped #GarbageTrucks Could Soon Start #Spying On People in the US

    America's #garbage #trucks can do more than just collect trash, reports Newsweek. They may also help identify code violations using #AI. Officials in #CapeCoral , #Florida, recently considered equipping sanitation trucks with AI-powered cameras that would photograph properties as crews complete their normal collection routes. The system would have been designed to identify potential issues such as overgrown lawns, peeling paint, and illegal dumping, and to flag violations so the city staff can review them later before taking enforcement action... However, in a statement on July 13, Cape Coral officials said it would not be moving forward with the #camera technology, citing cost issues and insufficient benefits.
