Later this year, a Queensland council will trial Australia’s first traffic light system powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
The new traffic technology will be trialled by the City of Moreton Bay at the intersection of two suburban roads in Petrie, just north of Brisbane.
At first, this might sound like a small transport story. But it raises hard questions about fairness, safety and who gets priority on public roads.
And if this trial works, similar systems may be used in other Australian towns.
The intersection of Moreton Parade and Paper Avenue, Petrie, where AI-powered traffic signals will be trialled.
