Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Too late to be a backer if you aren't already, but keep an eye on this project!

They'll fix it in software as soon as it becomes an issue.

According to the researcher in the above project, model weights on flocks at least are local and not remotely updateable

An impossible hurdle

Not impossible, just nontrivial and expensive.

Next gen cams will have live update if this apparel is prevalent enough -- which means Solarwinds style are a concern and a lot more people who could inject something.

That just means the civil precedence needs to be set ASAP

Tryhackme has a course that teaches you the basics on how to develop such patterns tailored to the model you want to trick.

You should read the project details. They have an amazing test gauntlet and volunteers running high end GPUs (Blackwell, etc) on a hybrid genetic algorithm.
