COVID: Street Cameras used to measure social distancing

Where are cameras being used to measure social distancing:

• Times Square in New York
• Miami Beach
• Abbey Road in London
• Ruthven Museums Building at University of Michigan
• Jersey Shore at Seaside Heights
• + more

Who made this pivot? A Michigan based startup, Voxel51

How is this possible? Street cams are public, which allows the data to be pulled

Are people being identified? NO

The future regulatory/legislative issue: Will public street cameras permit the data to be used for other purposes? Will governments use that data? Could governments ticket if social distancing isn’t followed?
