In one of yesterday's posts, I mentioned the array of cameras installed (with more planned) in Lower Manhattan. If Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his way, New York City will have even more cameras than these, specifically to identify and prosecute drivers who run red lights and exceed the speed limit on streets. While embedded vision
