Chinese cities wanting peace and quiet are using acoustic cameras to catch honking drivers

Screenshot China is using acoustic cameras to catch honking drivers. Cameras have been rolled out in 40 cities, and work by capturing a two second film of a honking car. The footage is analyzed by police to determine if drivers had a fair reason to honk and if not they'll receive a $16 fine. This may be the first step to link car honking with penalties for a driver's social credit score. Congestion in Beijing can be unbearable. With far more than 5 million registered cars, traffic can crawl at half the speed it does in New York City.
