I suspect the e-scooters left around town (Lime, Bird, etc) are massive Bluetooth / LoRa dragnets. You pay them to increase coverage or visibility to social hot spots.
There is a startup (in Stuttgart i believe?) that adds camera ms to these scooters.. this is 100% illegal (and I think the ccc is filing lawsuits?). Some of the earlier Tier model scooters even had a dedicated space for a camera in their head tubes.
