Camera system in New York measures volume from the exhaust!

Basically, we always complain about the German legislation on the subject of autotuning. The city shows that things can still get shitty New York. If you live there and drive a car that is too loud, you may soon receive a letter from the city's Ministry of the Environment saying that the vehicle is too loud. And it's completely automated, without a policeman who "caught". Instead, one became one Desktop caught. Specifically, a photo was recently posted to Facebook by the New York City DEP. In it, the owner of a BMW M3 is informed that "The vehicle appears to have a muffler installed that does not comply with Section 386 of the Vehicles and Traffic Act, which prohibits motor vehicles from making excessive noise.' And the letter goes on to say: 'Your vehicle was captured by a camera that photographed your car and license plate. A sound meter also recorded the decibel level as her vehicle approached and passed the camera."

According to the letter, the M3 should be taken to a testing center designated by the DEP to avoid a fine. The replacement of the exhaust does not appear to result in any financial consequences (fines) for the owner, when he complies with the request. However, a no-show should result in a maximum fine of $875 plus fees have as a consequence. According to the New York City DEP, the system is part of a pilot project that has been running since September 2021 and the idea presented in 2019 Noise speed camera from Switzerland is equivalent to. The system from New York probably works in a similar way to a speedometer that automatically records a violation, recognizes the license plate and assigns the decibel level on the street to the license plate using a sound meter. Then the rest works fully automated. According to DEP, the program will be analyzed on June 30, 2022 and either expanded or retired. It will be interesting to see if and when this nonsense will come to us. Info by: Car and Driver / Photo: Lowered Congress
