ASSET Camera

Speed cameras have dubious legality in many places here in the States, but over in Europe they’re an ugly fact of life. Now they’re getting smarter, and the first is going into deployment in Finland. It’s called ASSET, the Advanced Safety and Driver Support for Essential Road Transport, which confusingly abbreviates to ASDSERT and is the product of £7 in government funding and years of development.

It can also look up the status of your insurance, tell if you’re wearing a seatbelt, and ding you for tailgaiting, all while sitting alone on the side of the road, relying on a wireless data connection and an internal generator to be totally self-sufficient. Whether or not this is scary depends largely on your propensity for speed, but know that the things will be getting built into police cars soon and will shortly be heading over here to our big, wide American highways
