Multi-Target Photo-Radar System To Make Speeding Riskier

mrquagmire writes with this excerpt from Engadget: "Go easy on the gas, Speed Racer, because Cordon is on its way. Developed by Simicon, this new speed sensor promises to take highway surveillance to new heights of precision. Unlike most photo radar systems, which track only one violator at a time, Simicon's device can simultaneously identify and follow up to 32 vehicles across four lanes. Whenever a car enters its range, the Cordon will automatically generate two images: one from wide-angle view and one closeup shot of the vehicle's license plate. It's also capable of instantly measuring a car's speed and mapping its position, and can easily be synced with other databases via WiFi, 3G or WiMAX."

pro: Who hasn't been passed by a jerk going 15 (at least) over the limit and wished there were someone around to catch them.
con: Does anyone have 'perfect speed' all the time? Especially coming down hills or just going with the flow of traffic?

cars tagged with a green dot are traveling below the speed limit, those with a yellow marking are chugging along within an acceptable range above the limit, while vehicles with a red tab are just asking for trouble

There's some leeway built into the system, and it looks like it's about 5 (mph?)
