From this bit in the article:

The pattern does not stop a camera from recording. Instead, it is designed to prevent the software connected to the camera from recognizing what it sees. A person or car wearing the pattern would still appear in the footage, but the detection system may not flag it as a person or vehicle.

I wonder if these systems won’t “notice” and record the license plate on its own if they don’t think there’s a vehicle present.

How else do you expect to find out the incorrect weather?

“The Last of Us (but everyone glows)” sounds fine at this point.
