    I thought AI was picking out details about cars these days, making them identifiable even without plates.

    I’ve also heard there is a film you can put over your plate to make it unreadable to AI but perfectly visible to the naked eye.

      I kind of doubt that. While film can cover what’s in the infrared spectrum, it still has to be transparent enough for the ordinary eye to see. Cameras can still see in the same vision spectrum as humans. It might work at night with IR lit cameras but it would still be seen plainly in the day. You’ll just make your car stand out more.
