Im sure Tesla and Waymo are already doing it as well. Any newer cars with cameras, I assume they are recording 24/7

You can technically buy your way into the system if you enough money. Just start a company in a sector that can have access to the network and buy the product. The whole thing is a blackmail machine and nobody can do it because people with enough money, don`t live clean lives. I am of the opinion that most politicians that push Flock are not actually being bribed but are being extorted.

I wonder how many of the major car manufacturers are already surreptitiously participating.

Any company that partners with this sort of thing I will try my best to avoid.
