Appearance
Edge intelligence for COTA transit — without ripping the SOC
Ghost Protocol · COTA POC 2026 Bus AI proves that Shadow edge cameras and Phantom Vision VMS can deliver real-time detection, host-side reasoning, and secure operator workflows on a Mac Studio desk—then on the bus.
Hard rule
Gemma / local LLM weights install only on the Mac Studio (or optional Spark). Never on Shadow / OAK cameras.
