The same technology that determines whether a label is missing is being pressed into service to manage traffic, to classify cars for the purpose of collecting fines or tolls, and to help drivers avoid each other and pedestrians,. This could be a significant market for machine vision vendors, but there are some problems, ranging from technical issues to cost, to be overcome, A look at several examples shows how vision sensors are not getting stuck in traffic.
