Nashville, TN automated license plate reader pilot program
The Nashville Metro Council approved a bill authorizing a six-month pilot program for the use of automated license plate readers (ALPRs). The ALPRs will use smart cameras equipped with algorithmic artificial intelligence trained for pattern recognition to identify license plates, vehicle makes, models, and colors. The Council specifically did not approve the use of facial recognition technology with ALPRs due to controversial racial implications.
