A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I wonder if those LED's work on Flock cameras? They are getting to be dense enough that I've been tempted to do something to make it harder to read my plate for cameras, but there's also one camera that needs to be able to read my plate for me to get though a gate.

Also kinda tempted to throw an old license plate on my bicycle and take wacky ass routes around that cars can't follow to put at least one bullshit data point in their data.

From the video it sounds like the cameras are looking for tail lights and a rectangle to determine if it is a license plate or not.

I run front and rear lights on my bike, might be enough to get mistaken for a motorcycle.
