Reply to comment by JaesopPop in MA vehicle inspection system, down state wide. by operator_1337

Not really. The depth of body rust is difficult to gage visually, much less on those shit ass cameras. Same for the lights; they don't know how bright they are.

Yeah cameras don’t have any perception of brightness.

Not in a specific and measurable way, no. They're not exactly HD

It doesn’t need to be specific and measurable. Once someone passes someone who clearly has lights too bright that’s going to be enough to end up with them in trouble.

Inspection stations aren’t risking their business and the five figures they’ve invested into being able to do them for your $20.

It does, in fact. It also doesn't account for lights that are too dim. Not that anybody checking.

I assure you, many are.

Believe what yoy want. Next time you see a rusted out truck and wonder "how'd that even pass?", remember that it passed for like $40 in bribes to the inspector.
