"Linux Car Speed Detector" might be a more accurate description, since nothing about this seems to be specific raspberry pi hardware. Honestly, could just say "Car Speed Detector" since I'd imagine this would be pretty easy to replicate on other platforms and the OS isn't really part of it either.

Really cool project though. Now I want to start playing with OpenCV. I wish i had something more constructive to add :/

Maybe cut out the "car" because what if a van or truck passes by?!

Alas, that story about a bypassing Harrier locking its missiles to a speed radar is not true.

Wow. Reading that story annoyed me. Someone really wrote that with all of those obvious inaccuracies in it and someone actually believed it? THen I remember that people share shit 10x worse than this on FB and I got sad instead of annoyed.

Someone please educate someone. Please. lol

Well, at least that Harrier story was somehow good-natured, and not just uneducated filth like the glyphosate thing.

That said, the image I linked specifically named Glyphosate while the story you posted appears to be saying that it wasn't Glyphosate, it was the co-formulants that are a problem, unless I'm misunderstanding?

That's true!
