QuoteThe proposed system would be massive, the memo reads:

The Authority is interested in implementing a Facial Detection System, in a free-flow highway environment, where vehicle movement is unimpeded at highway speeds as well as bumper-to-bumper traffic, and license plate images are taken and matched to occupants of the vehicles (via license plate number) with Facial Detection and Recognition methods from a gantry-based or road-side monitoring location.

...an effective system like the one the MTA has called for might still be years away.

"The New York crossings project is talking about people driving at highway speeds, so I think we can expect very, very low accuracy rates,"
