Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Mostly some of the bad parts though like mass surveillance and opression.
Yet economy wise China seems to have their shit together in difference to the USA.

They reconize the importance of e.g. energy independence (from imports) and domestic chip/RAM production while USA tries to play a fool's game with tariffs and hurries to run more of the economy on dinosaur farts (yeah, I'm aware that most fossil fuels aren't made from dinosaur remains...).
