Defense contractor Leonardo is promoting a new technology called SignalTrace that will package plate cameras with sensors that can scrape unique identifiers tied to your smart devices and make that data available to law enforcement.
Police, border security, and other government agencies already comprise Leonardo’s customer base, and with this technology, those clients seek to correlate footage from these cameras to phones, tablets, wearables, AirTags, and, naturally, the electronics inside cars themselves.
If SignalTrace can pick up your Bluetooth headphones, you can be sure it’ll also be looking out for your vehicle’s 5G hotspot, infotainment system, and even its tire pressure monitoring sensors. The company includes pet microchips as a potential entry point to tracking.
Those problems the users brought to your attention are accurate and still exist, though. Now there's just additional problems.
Unless you're obscuring your license plate as you drive, they still don't need this tech to track your movements and will continue to do so by camera, alone, and you've still degraded your driving experience. I'm not sure what you think was "solved" by removing your TPMS sensors, since they're still tracking you just the same.
