What kind of technology (LiDAR or ViDAR) would help us identify the number of people on a bus?

People inside might have RFID / NFC technology with them, like badges, but we can't count on them 100% as someone might forget or not have that piece at all.

Of course, buses will slow down when they come to a "checkpoint" to allow devices (cameras) to perform better scanning.

By the way, it's a civil project, nothing to do with law enforcement. A huge convention center wants to know in advance, if 100 buses are coming, what number of participants to expect at their gate.

We all see the naturality that Google developed on search while this is missing on Bing and other search engines.

Knowing the fact of Microsoft development abilities, money the have and infrastructure (Azure) I'm very surprised how they are so behind in terms of features (search, NLP, context, etc) with Google.

Anyone shares same opinion?
