Automated cargo delivery is going to bring a new era of piracy. When you can easily trick the vehicle and there are no people in it, it becomes much more tempting to just knock it over and steal what’s inside.

In China they have your face details and your phone location. Even if they don't have that data, there are hidden cameras everywhere following you home.

so there will be camera's with facial recognition. There's no cheating in mass surveillance totalitarianism.

Isn't facial recognizition still possible when the face is partly masked? Also, what if they have camera's right about everywhere, where do you put on the mask without being identified? Or what if they track your phones location? Don't know how far chinese mass surveillance currently goes, but these seem like real possibilities in the near-future. I am very afraid that modern technology will make resistance to totalitarianism impossible.

I’m certain it’s possible to obscure your face beyond the ability of any machine to recognize it. At that point your enemy is gait analysis, but there are countermeasures for that as well. As for utterly pervasive surveillance that is so redundant and automated that the government can know anything about anyone, anywhere, retroactively…. I don’t know if we are there yet. I’m not going to spend too much energy worrying about the prospects of Chinese pirates.

TIL what gait analysis is. Thank you :)
