They don't seem very popular in the US, but always-on dashboard cameras already have obvious value. Maybe a dashboard cam cloud storage company could offer a discount on their services if you allowed license plate data to be gleaned from the footage you upload. Or maybe they would just throw a line in their ToS and do it.

IIRC they are very popular in Russia because the insurance companies reduce your prime. This cause a lot of interesting videos, like the meteorite a few years ago, and a lot ow weird accident videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dashboard+camer...
