I don't remember the crime show but none of the surveillance cameras
picked up the plate on a car they were trying to identify. However the
camera did show a Tesla parked behind the vehicle of interest. That one
they could identify and got the footage from the owner. I'd never thought
about yet another invasion of privacy.

"Since about 2016, Tesla has employed hundreds of people in Africa and
later the United States to label images to help its cars learn how to
recognize pedestrians, street signs, construction vehicles, garage doors
and other objects encountered on the road or at customers’ houses. To
accomplish that, data labelers were given access to thousands of videos or
images recorded by car cameras that they would view and identify objects."

I'd mentioned in another post that image recognition requires a huge
amount of labeled images for training. Nothing like outsourcing it to
Africa. I wonder if an Kenyan princes were able to exploit the data?
