It’s a thing in CABA too:

I doubt very much that it’s AI, and when I was living in Europe I’m fairly certain the photo check was manual.
In CABA at least they do fine you, last November my son made a partial incursion in u car into a zebra crossing (it wasn’t me, I was in hospital at the time , thank you so much son for this memento of your visit) and the fine arrived by email.
That was the last of the efficiency though, as CABA had forgotten my registration with their stupid webpage (AGIP I think) and since I’ve since changed DNI numbers there was no easy way to correct this. After a bunch of painful WhatsApp sessions I was able to be a Pagofacil code to pay the damn fine.
