This is a perfect example of how US software companies are ruining everyone's privacy. Company A gets competitive advantage through spyware and then everyone thinks they have to spy to keep up.
Almost everything that a Tesla customer does in that car is recorded and probably uploaded to the mothership. When analysing accidents they're able to reconstruct what happened to a disturbing level of detail.

I'm strongly pro-privacy on ethical grounds, but is this really a complaint you want to make? It establishes fault in accidents and provides statistically significant information to educate both the AI and the public as to what causes road accidents and how to avoid them.

- blub 9y agoUntil there's clear laws establishing who can see the data, what can be collected, when it must be deleted and to give the driver control over shutting it off, that's exactly the argument that needs to be made. Right now Tesla does whatever they want with it, including publishing accident details for defensive PR.
