Automatically. Ditto faces. The algorithm isn't perfect, and you get
unobscured faces/number plates (which are often noticed and fixed) and
oddly blurred road signs etc (which usually aren't).


Quite funny how the frames are stitched together
Note the disappearing traffic warden on the left, after the barsteward had
