Funny if real. I am interested in potential countermeasures to Flock, however...

I think for this to work, the pictures should be fewer and larger. And also include things like motorcycles and pedestrians for good measure.

Well, considering they’re primarily using RFID, there’s no paint that will help. Your tire pressure sensor is enough. The next generation of these “cameras” will just be a sensor on a stick.

Ah, well, good thing my TPMS sensors are long dead, I guess.

But do you have a source on that? I kind of have doubts about whether TPMS sensors A) have a long enough range to make this feasible and B) are uniquely identifiable. How far away can TPMS sensors from a moving vehicle actually be detected? And do TPMS sensors broadcast some kind of ID number or other identifiable information that would distinguish them from the millions of other TPMS sensors on the same road?

Well, shit. That's pretty definitive.

Doubly happy now that my current car's TPMS sensors are long dead. And now I'm planning to deliberately remove the sensors from any newer car I might get in the future.

I find tpms sensors leak air after a time.

I've taken to replacing them with rubber stems with the tire change

$1-2 vs $60+.
