MapQuest Now Shows You Where All the Flock Cameras Are: TDS

MapQuest has added a feature that shows where automated license-plate reader cameras are located, including systems from Flock and Leonardo, according to a Monday Oct. 19, 2026 roundup by The Downshift (TDS) on The Drive. The update is aimed at users who stopped relying on MapQuest years ago and now want more visibility around surveillance infrastructure. The same digest also reports that Volkswagen plans a software update for the ID.4 to manage battery-pack fire risk by capping state of charge at 80%, a tradeoff that can reduce range in colder months. Other items include a Subaru in-house EV prototype in Japan with 509 hp, a recall of under 3,000 Ford F-150 seats, and Rivian opening its Autonomy Early Access program.
