    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    AI cameras are being set up on some UK highways to stop drivers from throwing trash out of their car windows.

    The AI-powered cameras will be installed in British lay-bys in the coming weeks in an attempt to catch drivers who litter, The Metro reported.

    The initiative is being run as part of a trial by National Highways, a body that was set up to maintain and improve major roads.

    The cameras would be able to automatically send the images to enforcers, meaning officers would no longer have to look through hours of CCTV footage, the publication added.

    The Clean Up Britain campaign group said in February that it would pursue legal action against the National Highways body if the litter situation didn’t improve.

    John Read, Clean Up Britain’s founder, told The Telegraph the latest approach was another “meaningless partnership” that sounded good but “always delivered no results.”
