And let's not forget the On The Go kiosks [1][2] I thought this was clever and partially addressed the gap in surveillance between swiping your card at known location and egress at some random location. This baby helpfully gives you the option to tell it where you are going.

With persistent facial recognition it gives Google a very marketable database. The key being that they can store all faces and only need to go back and search them when a customer wants to know all the dates and locations where they have seen that face.

If the displayed advertisements are based on who's passing the kiosk, some very uncomfortable situations could be created - let's say a high-profile clergyman walks by and an Ashley-Madison advertisement is shown.

The ads are all anonymous and based on an aggregate on who is around the unit. It will never be a "Minority Report" type experience, more of a "55% of the users around this location are males, therefore a Draft Kings ad will play". One-to-many, not one-to-one.

God I love that game
A dystopian "smart city" vision can be seen in the "Hyper Reality" video, http://hyper-reality.co that is inspired by Magic Leap's AR, in which Google is an investor.
