Passively sniffing the CAN bus for sign recognition events would be entirely undetected - but that would require reverse engineering the protocol and writing specific code... One might argue that rigging a dashcam and processing its output on a desktop with some road sign recognition software (generic pattern recognition neural net trained with road signs ?) would be less effort - albeit an inelegant effort duplication. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
