I always had the idea of building something similar to this for my own use: have a dashcam recording while I was driving, and every night taking those videos and extract the timestamp/GPS/plate number and a short video clip of all cars I encountered on that day.
I haven't thought too much about why documenting these would be useful, but on top of my mind I could get answer of these questions:
- have I seen this fancy/unique looking car in the past?
- is this the same douche bag that I saw last week who can't drive?
- what's the last CA plate number starts with now? Is it 9G or 9H?
- are there more people driving w/ a 9[A-Z] plate in my town? (As a proxy of knowing how many people are still buying new cars in my town)
