Chengdu traffic police bust driver's license exam cheating using AI glasses

According to a notice from the Chengdu traffic police, on the morning of October 16, a stationed officer at the motorcycle test center operated by Chengdu Public Security Traffic Management Bureau (Branch No. 10) was monitoring the theory exam when he noticed a man who appeared nervous, had unusual answer patterns and unnatural behavior, and approached him for an immediate check. The glasses the man was wearing concealed a hidden device, and he also wore a smart ring on his hand that triggered a scan when pressed, projecting answers onto the glasses. Faced with questioning, the man admitted to using the high-tech devices to cheat on the exam. He explained that when he had applied for his car driving license years earlier, he barely passed the theory section after four attempts, and fearing another failure now that he was applying to add a motorcycle endorsement, he bought an AI glasses device and a smart ring, among other electronic cheating tools, through online channels and hoped to pass the exam with the so-called high-tech gear. During the investigation, the man used his phone to take practice questions on his own and scored above 85%, but when officers picked random questions and asked him to demonstrate with the device, the accuracy of the expensive cheating device proved extremely low: the answers it gave were clearly wrong, and its multiple choice answers were entirely incorrect, exposing the paid pass-guarantee gadget as hollow marketing. Under Article 93, Paragraph 2 of the Regulation on the Application for and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses, the traffic management authority imposed a fine of 1900 yuan on the man and barred him from applying for a driving license again for one year.
