Yes. I can't speak to the USA, as I'm from Canada, but I've had conversations with traffic engineers from another city about it and increasingly seen them in my own city. Here's an example of one of the systems: https://www.iteris.com/oursolutions/pedestrian-cyclist-safet... They're obviously more common in higher density areas with better cycling infrastructure. The inductive loops are effectively useless with carbo…
> seen them in my own city. how can you tell that the cameras you are looking at are changing lights? is there an indication on them?
For e.g. there was one intersection way out of town that would always have a decent amount of main-way traffic but barely any cross traffic and had no pedestrian crossing. I would always get stuck there hoping a car comes up behind me, or trying to play chicken across the main-way moving at highway speeds. I assume someone complained as it's a popular cyclist route, because they put in a camera and now that intersection detects me reliably, no issues there since then.

How are you going to deal with reCAPTCHA and ad impressions? Sounds like a conflict of interest.
No easy answers on this one unfortunately, lots of conversations ongoing on these - but our default stance has been to hand back control to the user in cases of captcha and have them solve these when they arise.

I wonder how it would behave in a scenario where it has to download some file from a shady website that has all those advertisement with fake "download"
Many years ago I was sitting at a red light on a secondary road, where the primary cross road was idle. It seemed like you could solve this using a computer vision camera system that watched the primary road and when it was idle, would expedite the secondary road's green light. This was long before computer vision was mature enough to do anything like that and I found out that instead, there are magnetic systems that…

No, it's just hilariously impractical if you bother to think about it for more than five seconds.
Of course it is, everything is impractical except autogenerating mouse clicks on a browser. Anyone else starting to get late stage cryptocurrency vibes before the crash?

Hi! I work in identity products at Browserbase. I’ve spent a fair amount of time lately thinking about how to layer RBAC across the web. Do you think callbacks are how this gets done?
Disclaimer: Im a cofounder, we focus critical spaces with AI. Also i was the feature request for claude code hooks. But my bet - we will not deploy a single agent into any real environment without deterministic guarantees. Hooks are a means... Browserbase with hooks would be really powerful, governance beyond RBAC (but of course enabling relevant guardrailing as well - "does agent have permission to access this share…

Post edited: I was wrong about this. Gemini tried to solve the Google CAPTCHA but it was actually Browserbase that did the solve, notes here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/7/gemini-25-computer-use-...
Any idea how Browserbase solves CAPTCHA? Wouldn't be surprised if it sends requests to some "click farm" in a low cost location where humans solve captchas all day :\
