A 19-year-old student from China, Zhang Wei, developed an AI radar and sold it to Hong Kong for $550,000
He created it using Claude, spending just $20 and a month on development
He walked into the Hong Kong administration office with a flash drive and asked for just 5 minutes of their time. 30 minutes later, he walked out with a check for $550,000
The code, connected to a camera, detects speed in real time. If the speed exceeds the limit, Claude takes a video clip and identifies the owner by the car's license plate. The video and the fine are then automatically sent to the owner's email address
Unlike a conventional radar that only takes a photo and doesn't always work, this AI radar eliminates disputes because it captures video and makes the process fully autonomous by sending out the fines on its own
The article includes the ready-to-use configurations.
A Chinese student built an AI radar system in one month using Claude. The tool detects speeding cars, records video evidence, and automatically sends fines by email.
