obd is a common protocol mandated by law in the us and the eu for many years. you can get access to it using commonly available plugins for the obd port on your vehicle which can provide access either over usb or bluetooth, and there is open source software which decodes the api, knowing which data to send, and what the returned values mean. generally this api is decoded either by sniffing the signals another device sends down the wires, or by sending unknown signals down the wire and mapping the responses to get an idea as to what information is returned. some of this mapping is available from standards bodies. once you know the mapping, it just needs some boiler plate code to tell it to send this, read that reply, and display it like this.

this is just garbage from the lobbyist. whitelists blacklists and greylists are not new technology. if you can send a comment saying probably spam, you can send a comment at the end of the call asking if it was genuine and getting the customer to report yes, no, don't know, and based on that add them to the correct list. you can then feed these lists to the ai, providing feedback for every call. you can also mandate that internal us calls need to report the phone number to the carrier, and just do not show it to the customer if it is id withheld. combined with the national register of customer details (held by the carriers of origin) lets you trace any call originator within the us, leaving the carrier on the hook if they do not comply with lawfull detail requests about their customers, just like safeharbour provisions work for isps and illegal downloaders.

the reason a lot of mainstream media is rubbish is that it is greenlit by accountants trying to cash in on the next last big thing, then micromanaging the story to try and justify their jobs. this does not produce quality in creative industries.
