Thailand’s Metropolitan Police plan to install intelligent dummies in police roles across capital Bangkok. Nicknamed Sergeant Idly Silent, the dummies will be sited at 13 locations across the city and will keep a close watch for traffic violations using on-board CCTV equipment and ANPR technology. The aim of the dummies will be to aid their human counterparts in tracking those contravening traffic laws. Given the city’s reputation for its ‘spirited’ drivers, it seems like that the dummies will be kept busy.
