I feel like I'm repeating myself, but that too seems like a solvable problem.

A car covered in sensors is likely a lot better at capturing and remember license plates than a human. Even keeping a memory of the last 60 seconds would be more than enough.

Technology-wise, Google is already very good at OCR. They even have algorithms to specifically identify license plates (as seen in Google Maps where they're fuzzed out).

This seems more a problem of policy (how would it be implemented?) than technology. And that too would evolve as necessity grew.
