This stuff is backed by very clear research. It’s safer for drivers. The feeling that it’s more constrained is literally what saves drivers lives by making them slow down and pay attention.

When trapping small birds in nets for research, you have to get them out quick or the deer come and devour them.

That does make me realize crop&scale invariant image signing sounds cool and I wonder if somebody has done it.

I like the idea but this sounds hard to do well with just tech. It probably needs law too/instead. I would put money on the private key getting extracted within weeks of release, and nobody would share the signed originals anyway because there’s too much (benign) image mutation in typical workflows.

The fun answer is that it’s not far away at all. You could drive there in less than two hours if your car could drive straight up.
