For the average person, the best use case I can think of would be to get real-time alerts when someone pulls into your driveway. You could use the license plate reader to suppress the alerts for known cars, or to perform other custom actions.

I don't see any good that would come of integrating a license plate reader into your car. At least, I don't see any benefit that you couldn't get by just having a regular camera recording, which is what you really want to have in case of an accident or incident.

BTW, here's an open-source License Plate Recognition project that's been around for a little while. I'd imagine a Pi v4 is powerful enough to do it in realtime:
