Just now biking, passed a car - one of the cubier ones - with a big white-on-black diamonds-in-diamonds business logo and I realized I\u2019ve never seen a car in WWI dazzle camouflage

Probably just make you more likely to get hit, which is funny - can\u2019t invoke a use/mention distinction

\n

Probably disadvantage human rival drivers more than autonomous, maybe you could pair it with those machine learning-glitch patterns to do something interesting by filtering on that distinction

Dazzle camo is actually used all the time in conjunction with nylon coverings for prototype cars undergoing road testing before their full reveal.

The camo itself isn\u2019t as dramatic as what was used on ships but it\u2019s very good at concealing things like bodywork changes that hint at different engines and exterior sensors that imply expanded autonomous driving capabilities.
