"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?!

And it really is more of a measurement device than a detector. The car is there one way or another, it's measuring the speed of it.

Maybe a "Linux Speed Measurer" however that starts to sound like it's related to measuring the speed of your OS.

Maybe "Linux-based External Object Speed Measurer"

How about "Object speed measured by image processing (extracted from video input)" or osmbipefvi for short....
