I am think it is reasonable. Tesla uses these data to protect themselves (for example by showing that autopilot wasn't in use during an accident). It is not really about user privacy anymore, it is about corporate interests, and I think road safety is more important, that's why we have all these regulations.

- chuckee 5y agoThe car is already spying on you. I think the question is: It shouldn't be spying on you. The data belongs to the car owner. If the owner wants to disable data collection, so be it. If anyone else wants that data, they can ask the owner for the decryption key and access to their car to make a copy. I don't think it's even remotely reasonable for devices that we own to betray us. My car should protect me, not the manufacturer.
