00:02A site that's been driving people around the bend.
00:05The Adelaide City Council's AI assisted park safe vehicles armed with cameras taking pictures
00:10of parked cars leading to fines in the post.
00:14To have AI machines issuing tickets to innocent victims without any interactions with a person
00:20or a parking inspector has got to stop.
00:23The state government moving to ban the technology by Christmas making it compulsory to issue
00:27physical tickets.
00:28Tour Guide Dallas Cools Company was fined for picking up elderly passengers and believes
00:33human inspectors would have shown discretion.
00:36What they're doing lacks complete common sense.
00:40The council's own report revealed one in four fines that were contested were withdrawn for
00:44being wrongly issued.
00:46Motorists pleased to hear it may be on the way out.
00:48It's a big relief because it takes the pressure off.
00:51It seems a bit dodgy to me.
00:53I think I'd rather have things done by a person still.
00:55Others seeing the camera cars as a cash cow for councils.
00:59Less money for them so they'd obviously be unhappy but I'm sure they'd want more money.
01:04One councillor says the cameras could be retained with more leniency.
01:07There would be an impact to the council's bottom line I imagine but that's not what's important.
01:11What's important to me is the safety element and making sure that these cars do the job well,
01:15do the job correctly and not be overzealous.
01:18The move will apply beyond the city of Adelaide with the state government identifying Salisbury, Burnside,
01:23Mitcham and Mount Barker as councils also considering the technology.
01:26But the local government association says there should have been more consultation before the state acted.
01:32Is this just a local government thing or should the state government be looking at where it's used by the
01:38state government as well?
01:39But the state government says using AI for red light cameras and mobile phone use saves lives
01:44and is not the same as using it for parking fines.
