RE:RE:RE:Hayden AI in LA MetroSo I did some more digging and I found that LA Metro received an unsolicited proposal from Conduent (UP-2021-03) proposing a 30-day Proof of Concept of their endto-end system, which uses a Hayden AI camera system. The Proof of Concept occured from November 22, 2021, through December 22, 2021 (see page 3 of the following link).

Additionally, Hayden securing what appears to be all automated lane enforcement contracts across the US thus far, likely played a substantial role in gaining even more points.
A quick note: please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I think this might be the first time we have concrete evidence of Gatekeeper supplying License Plate Reading (LPR) cameras to the TTC (see the "Qualifications Summary of Firms within the Competitive Range" section in the following link)
