A 20-year-old student from China, Li Hao, built an AI speed radar with Claude alone and sold it to a city district for $317,000
He wrote the whole thing in 9 days, spending about $20 on Claude API calls
He set an old camera on his balcony, pointed it at the intersection below, and let Claude watch the road
Claude tags every car, motorbike and pedestrian in real time, 653 in five minutes, and flags anyone over the limit
The moment a car speeds, Claude clips the video, reads the license plate, matches the owner, and emails the fine on its own
A normal radar takes one photo and misses half the time. Claude records full video, so there is nothing to dispute, and the fines go out with no operator
He walked into the district office with a flash drive and asked for 10 minutes. he left with a contract
Every Claude config he used is in the article
