A 20-year-old student in China reportedly built an AI-powered speed detection system in 9 days using Claude, an old camera, and roughly $20 in API costs.
The system turns an ordinary camera into intelligent traffic monitoring: detecting vehicles, tracking movement, estimating speeds, recognizing license plates, and flagging potential violations in real time — a vivid example of AI lowering the barrier to advanced tech for individuals.
