I'm trying to understand why is the article implying this is a feature for general population? The article reads "mobilizing individuals’ cars to snitch on the rest of the public" but the patent document continuously refer to illustrated vehicle #1 as a law enforcement or other official capacity vehicle.
This patent strikes me like nothing more than upgraded PD radar system, with some extra features around how the data can be transferred/processed on the fly.
Why would a patent be limited to the illustrated example? Is the patent exclusively for law enforcement vehicles?
