Fooling Flock: The Car Wrap That Blinds Plate Cameras

autos.yahoo.com English
5
    Flock cameras have earned their moment in the crosshairs, and it isn't hard to see why. License plate-reading cameras were sold on the premise of sharper law enforcement, but the rollout has produced misuse, false flags, and a public that increasingly wants nothing to do with the surveillance apparatus quietly spreading across the country.

      SYAC: no pictures of the actual vehicle in this article, just stock images of Flock cameras. How incompetent of a journalist do you have to be to fail to include a picture of the thing your article is about?

      Here is an article that actually shows the wrap on the car:
      https://www.techspot.com/news/113418-cybersecurity-researcher-covered-toyota-ai-generated-pattern-confuse.html

      It looks like this:

      And here is a link to the mentioned Kickstarter campaign, which the Yahoo article also fails to provide:
      https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/norecognition/norecognition-ai-adversarial-clothing/description

      The campaign doesn’t mention the car at all, which is a little odd. You’d think they’d be using the media attention.

      I also want to share a link to a previous post about this project:
      https://piefed.social/c/privacy@lemmy.world/p/2288321/anti-flock-anti-ring-ai-adversarial-clothing-demo-d-blackhat-defcon

      My opinion is still the same as in that discussion - I don’t think a static pattern is going to be effective for very long.

          Is the word “Donut” kryptonite to Flock?

              Donut Media was the sponsor for the project.

            They’ll call it Car Camouflage and tell MAGA it’s for terrorists or something I bet

                Which will result in reducing what terrorist means, it won’t mean anything anymore, and they lose their ability to scare people with it. Done.
