Рашбрук: Ведутся работы по улучшению характеристик двигателя.

      Марк Рашбрук, глава Ford Performance Motorsport, поделился обновленной информацией о состоянии силовой установки от Red Bull Powertrains, и его слова должны вызвать оптимизм у гонщиков команды из Милтон-Кинса и их поклонников.

      Это абсолютно новый проект, и американская корпорация предоставляет всестороннюю техническую поддержку в рамках партнёрства с Red Bull Racing.

      «Всё движется по запланированному графику, мы находимся на той стадии, на которой и должны быть, – отметил Рашбрук в интервью Motorsport.com. – Однако полная оценка будет возможна только тогда, когда машина выйдет на трассу (на тестах). Это будет ключевой день и важная неделя. Только тогда мы увидим, насколько оправданы наши усилия, вложенные за последние три года.

      Когда новая машина или двигатель впервые проходит испытания на трассе, немного нервозности неизбежно возникает. Наши компьютерные технологии довольно эффективны в разработке инженерных решений, а лаборатории для тестирования обеспечивают качественную настройку техники, но остаётся открытым вопрос: покажут ли себя на трассе те аспекты, которые не удалось выявить в лабораторных условиях?

      В последние несколько месяцев основное внимание уделялось улучшению характеристик силовой установки и её калибровке. Часть работы выполняется с помощью компьютерного моделирования, часть — в ходе стендовых испытаний, а что-то — во время сессий на симуляторах с участием гонщиков. Именно на это сейчас направлены наши усилия».

Greece has introduced AI cameras in key areas of central Athens. Within just four days of implementation, these cameras recorded 2,500 traffic violations. The initial rollout included monitoring in eight designated zones. Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent in various sectors, including traffic enforcement. Greece has adopted a new, efficient, and cost-effective approach to monitor driving behavior with AI-enabled cameras. During the initial trial across eight sites in Athens, almost 2,500 significant violations were detected over just four days, underscoring that many drivers do not adhere strictly to traffic laws. Critics argue that if every minor infraction is reported, even the most careful drivers, and police officers, might appear to be violators. What Violations Are These Smart Cameras Detecting? In addition to speeding and ignoring traffic signals, the AI cameras can identify multiple infractions, including not wearing seatbelts, using mobile phones while driving, and improperly utilizing emergency lanes. When a violation occurs, the camera captures a time-stamped video and a still image, both encrypted to maintain the evidence’s integrity. Fines are not issued by on-site police officers; instead, offenders receive notifications via SMS, email, or through a government portal, allowing them to pay the penalties directly. An appeals process is available, but the video evidence rarely leaves room for dispute. One Camera, One Thousand Violations As reported by authorities, a single AI camera on Syngrou Avenue, a major road connecting Athens and the port of Piraeus, recorded over 1,000 violations within just four days, representing nearly half of all infractions detected during the pilot phase. Other locations have revealed similar patterns. At the busy intersection of Mesogeion and Halandriou avenues in Agia Paraskevi, 480 drivers were documented running red lights. Another 285 violations were noted at the junction of Vouliagmenis Avenue and Tinou Street in Kalithea, indicating that this issue is widespread. Those not wearing seatbelts or using a phone while driving face fines of €350 (approximately $410), while speeding fines range from €150-750 ($180-880) depending on the severity. With such potential penalties, it's estimated that one AI camera could generate up to €750,000 ($880,000) in fines within just three days. Whether this is viewed as a deterrent or a sign of systemic issues remains subjective, but the revenue possibilities are significant. From Pilot Initiative to Nationwide Monitoring At present, only eight AI camera locations are operational, all managed by the Ministry of Digital Governance. However, plans are in place to expand the network to 2,000 fixed cameras across the country, alongside 500 mobile units that will be installed on public buses to oversee illegal use of bus lanes. Officials aim for this expanded system to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities, relieve pressure on police resources, and ensure consistent funding for public services. The state's commitment to using automation seems unwavering, regardless of its impact on driver behavior. Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou expressed to Kathimerini that the government's goal is not punitive but protective. “This is a political choice with a clear social goal: reducing traffic accidents and saving lives,” he stated. “We are not adopting a punitive stance. We want citizens to understand that the rules are applicable to everyone and enforced in a fair and modern manner.” An Expanding Global Trend Greece is not the only country leveraging technology for traffic control. AI cameras are operational in nations such as the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Australia, India, China, Japan, and across the Middle East and the United States. Moving forward, many roads will be under constant surveillance.$ A recent pilot program in an EU country has seen AI cameras issue fines to thousands of drivers, with further developments on the horizon as authorities enhance surveillance efforts.
