Saved me from posting the link to deflock myself. Nice work!

I wonder if the ai will notice that the only camera i hit is the one right outside my job and nowhere else even though my town is positively flooded with them.

    Bear in mind the map is far from compete. It's best to learn what they look like so you can ID them in real time. Also the issue isn't your commute, it's when you deviate from it for whatever purpose. For instance, if you need to go pick up a friend from a protest you'll need to map a specific route to avoid them.

    Indeed. Which is why I've likened it to a weirdly modern underground railroad.

    Knowing how to navigate at least my town and id say roughly 20 miles of radius around where i live without hitting any is a skill i have, i just hope it won't be useful.

    But yes, keep an eye out for poles with small solar panels, or black cameras on the BACK of stoplight arms. Keep in mind most of these cameras have to be at eye level or just above to get a clear shot of as many licenses as possible.

    A brief scenario where someone tailgating you may be a good thing lol.
