Great who needs debate around static ALPR (license plate readers) data collection when we will soon have swarm of cars running with connected dashcams. The resolution is already good enough for face recognition on bystanders/people crossing street. Things will get even more interesting once we get self driving cars equipped with omnidirectional video recording capabilities.
I am very interested in what can be done, with such data. I am currently working with long duration (>20 minutes) dashcam videos uploaded by users to youtube.

- Cyph0n 10y agoBut companies already analyze vast amounts of data, so I don't see how this is different.
- schiffern 10y ago>Only the government can do that. Why would the government want to spend the money and PR capital developing and rolling that out, when they can have a company do it for free, take the heat, chest beat about private enterprise, and then secretly NSL subpoena or crack it and distribute the intelligence to every interested agency, police department, and eventually favored corporate interest (using parallel construction as needed)?
