A new tool is being tested in Edmonton to detect distracted drivers, but it won't lead to any tickets right now.
A trailer and camera are parked on the side of a busy road as part of a University of Alberta research project that will capture high-resolution images through windshields.
The technology, developed by Australian company Acusensus, then uses artificial intelligence to compare the images to millions of others in an effort to detect drivers who use cellphones behind the wheel.
The company claims that after police started using the system in Australia, traffic deaths went down.
