> Some might be concerned about privacy. It’s something that the MIT research addressed. The collected data was kept on secure servers and people could never need to actually watch the footage. Yeah, because a system like that has never before been compromised... ಠ_ಠ

That's the kind of argument they have to make to the general public. What else could they say to justify the technological need for that camera to be there? People in general don't respond to facts most of the time. It's a fear-based concern and they are saying "there there, it will be fine". And it works. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont-change-our-minds http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont-...

And there is no key, but an app to unlock your car, that's safe too, it's not like mobile phones get hacked. And the camera will come on after an update about which they didn't elaborate. And they just can't throw the video away after analysis or analyze it locally. If it turns out there are microphones hidden there stream audio to Tesla then it will be okay too because voice commands or something. Elon Musk can do no wrong after all and he will save humanity (as in - Americans, everyone else can fuck off and die, apparently). Move along and mind the slippery floor, it's wet with his worshipers' j*zz already.

So, nobody ever goes in to manually fine-tune the models? Or do they just review individual frames and call it "not watching the footage"? And apparently they trust every sysadmin, every researcher, and every programmer that they currently and will hire... Someone always has the keys to the kingdom (or the capability of stealing said keys).
