In this dystopian town I live in, we use parking meter boxes every block to pay for the numbered street spaces.
The electronic system knows which spaces are paid for, and which are supposed to be empty.
The parking meter cars are equipped with plate reading cameras, drive around scooping up all plate numbers, and automatically send out tickets.

That doesn't include the cameras at the intersections.

In the future (if not already happening) self-driving or all cars with camera systems will act as mobile license plate readers and facial recognition platforms.
Also scoop up proximity of nearby phone signals and other vehicles.
Same thing.
Driveways. City streets. Highways. Everywhere is covered by a connected network. And the people will pay for it.
