It seems to me it is a probe.
If it is accepted for cars, then it moves on to people.
Then it is used by ICE to pay rewards for handing over people Donald has decided are illegal.
Yes, care must be taken. These kinds of measures should only be taken when an existing power imbalance is already in place. We have laws to stop these imbalances, for example you can't use your might to force and coerce people. Do you think it's wrong for someone to be able to report an assault?
Cars are currently a huge power imbalance that needs to be evened out.
But, sure, some people will want to use the same technology to create new imbalances or further existing ones. That doesn't mean the technology itself is bad.
My fear isn't that this will stop after the truck drivers, the immigrants, etc, etc, have all been harmed but before the people who peddled the policy
This is called the slippery slope fallacy. It is a fallacy for a reason.
They always somehow run out of will to continue to harm people after those who can't resist have been harmed but right before the tech bros and out of touch white women who peddled and popularized the policy that lead to the harm start being on the receiving end of it all.
