And where will they get all that revenue (3600 tickets times what? $400 each?) when self driving cars come into vogue?
You mistake my support for photo radar because it generates revenue - I could care less whether it generates any revenue at all.
I support the use of photo radar because studies show it increases safety by getting people to slow down and reduce crashes. The fact that it can enforce the speed limit much faster and more efficiently than human police officers is a just a small bonus.
Honestly, I can't wait for autonomous vehicles to get here, because it'll save untold numbers of lives - I can't speak for California, but stats show that 86% of collisions in Alberta are due to human error. Get rid of the human, get rid of the error. Even if a few cars malfunction once and a while, the numbers of deaths and injuries on our roads will still drop dramatically.
