I wonder how fast the law in say Austria will forbid using WiFi. They already forbid using (or even having installed) a video camera in your car, as it is invading other drivers privacy.

That's crazy so if your car gets broken into you can't see who did it?

  Yeah sounded crazy to me but I looked it up and it's basically true! Apparently there are a narrow set of circumstances where it is allowed, but it's like if it is low resolution and pointing down etc. so it seems like in practice you can't.

No, Austria doesn't forbid using (or even having installed) a video camera in your car, in itself. But they do forbid RECORDING and PUBLISHING (e.g. on social media) videos where a SPECIFIC car (identifiable by the license plates) is visible, or SPECIFIC people (must fuzz them, and maybe edit out voices). Per their DPA's interpretation of data privacy; not the police. The best writeup I found is by Amazing_Bluebird_ at [0a]. (I see some conflicting reports where the Austrian *data protection authority (not the police) gave people civil fines (not tickets) just for having a camera. Sounds like those can be overturned by appealing. I wonder how Austrian Teslas handle all this. Apparently Tesla Sentry Mode ("Guardian Mode") in public spaces in Austria is heavily restricted and generally considered illegal under GDPR.
