I wonder how fast the law in say Austria will forbid using WiFi. They already forbid using (or even having installed) a video camera in your car, as it is invading other drivers privacy.
Yeah sounded crazy to me but I looked it up and it's basically true! Apparently there are a narrow set of circumstances where it is allowed, but it's like if it is low resolution and pointing down etc. so it seems like in practice you can't.
"In tests involving 197 participants, the researchers said the system identified individuals with nearly 100% accuracy. The recognition remained effective regardless of viewing angle or how the participants walked."

That's crazy so if your car gets broken into you can't see who did it?

Subtitle: Scientists say ordinary WiFi routers may soon be able to secretly recognize and track people with near-perfect accuracy.
Come on now. Flagged.
