What the Flock is going on here!

On one hand I'm not surprised. On the other hand I wonder how the camera can do all of this powered by a solar panel that isn't all that big.

It's not powered by a solar panel. It is battery powered. The panel just charges the battery during the day.

Let me rephrase. I don't see how the size of the solar panel(s) I see in the flock camera pictures can provide enough energy to keep a camera with all of the claimed capabilities running 24 hours a day. Solar production on winter days is pretty low, plus in some locations full overcast can last for a month or more.

Hard for me to listen to this guy's voice but sharing, don't cover cameras in autonomous taxis

I would bet this "feature" will find its way into personal vehicles as well - for safety of course. If you take your eyes off the road or yawn or any behavior it does not like, it will find a place to pull over until your behavior improves. No thanks!
