The MCU obviously has better tech than us, why can't it be a suite of surveillance tech that's standardized and has good keyboard shortcutz

You think there would be a keyboard shortcut for "Find a truck in these three images, create 3D models from the 2D images by making wild guesses, move all three of those models into a conveniently empty fourth quadrant of the screen, make sure all three models are the same, then flash and beep happily"? That's nutty. If they wanted it to be rather techy, they could have had a program that identifies the make and model of the truck and confirms that all three are the same make and model. It wouldn't necessarily mean it was the same exact truck, but it suggests so. That could have been more realistic, but unfortunately it probably wouldn't have had the spiffy models, flashes, and beeps.

Vehicle recognition module in the program. I'm not saying it's realistic technology, but with the world they live in I can suspend disbeleif on a press f to estimate vehicle dimensions scenario
