The state of Colorado has introduced an automated vehicle identification system that employs several cameras to monitor and calculate the average speed of vehicles on the road.
When a vehicle's average speed exceeds the posted limit, the system generates a ticket for the driver, which raises concerns about the implications for navigation applications such as Waze.
As these apps often provide real-time speed data and route adjustments, the effectiveness of their guidance may be compromised by the new enforcement measures.
