Reading cameras can't be protected by armor.

Something about lens being shot.

 

No. no parts need be exposed to air.

It may be reduced some efficiency/performance,

 

still can be covered by armored glass for instance.

 

It works by taking in the light,

then it depends on how transparent the armor is.

 

or it can be holes. small enough so nothing can go through,

but the light, or,

 

placed up high enough so it won't be meddled with...

 

 

 

hmm... hard to say. hahha

 

you can find the solution Mr Musk.

 

 

You can also send drones for imaging, flying at very high altitude,

once the tower detects and tracks their movements.

 

So stationary cameras may not be necessary.

 

Identification follows the automated vehicles.

 

Movements will constantly be tracked, so it don't matter

when drones fly away after identification.
