This is a clever use of image processing. They collected millions of images from dashcams, found all the police cars and figured out where cops are deployed. Turns out cops are mostly in neighbourhoods with a lot of black and brown people, or in rich commercial districts. …I kinda feel like they could’ve saved the grant money and just said, “yes, it’s exactly where you think.”
“From a technology standpoint, you have these dashcams collecting data, and then we have computer vision so we can actually pick out what we’re interested in from that data,” she said. “But it’s really the method of aggregating the data post hoc, and being able to compare the incidence of those things across neighborhoods – that’s the thing that we haven't been able to do before.”
It actually is quite cool that the basically garbage data from dashcams (normal uneventful drive) can be processed into data and analysed. Obviously this is going to be used for surveillance long before it will be used to hold the government to account.

Using a deep learning computer model and dashcam images from New York City rideshare drivers, Cornell Tech researchers were able to see which neighborhoods had the highest numbers of New York Police Department marked vehicles.

Alright, Twitter, this video recapitulates something in the public-facing Roman/Italic military equipment talk that has been bugging me for a while, so we're going to talk about the pectoral cuirass and why it never looked like how it was certainly drawn for your textbook. 1/ https://t.co/T5dP778t4k
