So a car that drives around taking pictures also accidentally is 
listening on the 2.4GHz band.  That's plausible, if they're wifi-ing the 
images from the roof cameras to the computers in the trunk of the car.

And it's also accidentally recording all the SSIDs it finds.  That is 
explanable by the fact that they might be debugging their code as they 
go along, so they're also running a wifi-enabled packet sniffer at the 
same time.

And it's also accidentally recording the mac addresses associated with 
that SSID.  Still in the realm of possibly accidental.

And it's also associating the GPS coordinates where that SSID/Mac combo 
was seen.  Now we've moved into definite deliberate territory.
