Technology@lemmy.world•Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track youEnglish
2·2 months agoYes and no, I think. It isn’t really huge amounts of data, and the patterns aren’t super complex, so a neural network would pick up a lot. But, given how far the signals travel, the intermittent nature of the signals, and how little they can initially be associated with a particular vehicle, I think in most environments associating a particular set of signals with a particular car would require some human field work. Sure, there are circumstances where automated pairing would be trivial (like at a toll booth), but catching signals in the wild and processing by neural net alone might be ok for analyzing traffic patterns while not being enough for surveillance.














What is this even supposed to mean? Whenever I hear comparisons of numbers like this, I just cringe. Wouldn’t 1 times smaller be zero? (n - (1 x n) = 0). What is 875.87 times smaller? Undoubtedly, they mean to express that the population is one 875.87th the size, so why not say that? Something isn’t, as another example, 3 times cheaper; it’s one third the price.
