"Tens of thousands" of vehicles will have the boxes installed next year, but UAE officials have not yet clarified whether installation of the device will be mandatory. The UAE is no stranger to automated enforcement. It currently has a network of 20 red light and speed cameras which carry tough penalties -- six individuals have been imprisoned for transgressions caught on film.

IBM developed Smart Box with UAE University last year.
