With network of cameras large enough you can trivially profile and identify all cars without license plates.

  It's possible that you could learn to recognize every individual car from things like the pattern of scratches on their hoods, yes, but this ability has not been demonstrated and may prove more difficult than you think.

    What you're talking about was being done a decade ago in the skies over Iraq. https://www.northropgrumman.com/what-we-do/mission-solutions/radars/an-zpy-5-vader-vehicle-and-dismount-exploitation https://www.northropgrumman.com/what-we-do/mission-solutions... I don't know jack about the algorithms because classified and not my job, but I can tell you that however good you think it was, it was better. I don't know if it's real or just marketing BS but what we said publicly was that differences in antennas, mirrors and trim were key in re-identifying vehicles after they leave the observable area (e.g. two silver Camry's go into a garage, come back out, how do you keep track which is which).

      Interesting, thanks! That page doesn't say anything that even suggests that.

        Well it's also been a decade. I'm surprised they still have a web page for it. I was able to find some more old info online. https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA500620.pdf https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA500620.pdf
