One message there 90,000 cameras for 5.5 million people, set to double by 2030.
Singapore is a very compliant and safe place, authorities might argue this is because of their hard stance and laws, no spitting, chewing gum, crime rate is very low, almost non existant.
This does seem like overkill though . . . authoritarian, controlling, very big brother / "1984" George Orwell.
So I wonder does the robot recognise someone smoking and report it in ?
Or like the many CCV cameras does a control room team actually do the job and follow up with the robot with the 'criminal' ?
I'm guessing it might recognise the situation, perhaps have a 'picture(s)' of the scenario in it's programming somewhere, maybe a smoke detector of sorts, and react.
It's probably recording all the time.
