Ugh, so snarky. Hope they get something a touch more severe than a slap on the wrist. But...in the same set of circumstances, how many others would do the exact same thing? Would I be so righteous and not participate? Hmmm. I would get a Tesla if I could afford one. You're beginning to see a lot more chugging around in Brooklyn nowadays. No exhaust pipe and dead-silent as they pass you by.
It's not some random people doing it with their private home surveillance recordings. It's employees doing it with data that got stored on company servers. And that employees would try to do that wasn't hard to guess. So for me the company is responsible for having to little restriction to prevent data theft/unauthorized usage. I hope they will learn from a huge fine
What was hard to guess is that those people would become promoted based on their popularity gained in questionable way... It became company culture
Call me stupid, but I didn't even know that people were being filmed when inside their cars, I wonder if all electric cars do this nowadays? It sounds like a huge invasion of privacy to me, I wonder why this has never been addressed before?
In NY? I expect the rate of hit and run incidents are about to go up. Or anywhere with a lot of pedestrians.
Honestly I didn't know either until I saw this but I am not surprised. I wouldn't doubt it will become mandatory at some point for liability reasons. Mostly to make sure the liability is all yours.
AI-powered autopilots need input just as people need eyes and ears to know where there are. Sensory input include video from cameras. Tesla does inform that video can be recorded to improve driving assistance technology. As we can see they processed and shared data outside of scope of privacy policy
Rasheed, I didn't know this either (recording Tesla driver actions). Apparently almost no one except the rogue employees did, right? I read somewhere else Tesla's getting sued for this. In a word: good. xxJackxx: no, the Tesla drivers I've seen are slowpokes! Seriously. The most cautious ones I've seen but it's in a small area, though.
The problem is the pedestrians more than the drivers. If they don't hear the cars they will be more likely to walk in front of one, especially if they are looking at their phone.
Oh yeah, yeah, you're right! Yeah, people and their phones--it might as well be baked into the hand for some. Just came across this--if charging is free, that can only be a win for EV drivers. Just need to work on that little thing called "privacy." https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/new...ging-superhub-open-to-public-247-in-brooklyn/ Even though Revel stopped renting E-scooters, its corporate headquarters is in Brooklyn, it seems.
I think I misunderstood, the camera footage was not from inside the car, but from outside the car, which is still a privacy risk if this can be uploaded to Tesla of course. I did know cameras were being used for Tesla's AutoPilot system.
I probably shouldn't assume too much without having researched how it works but I would have assumed AutoPilot would have relied more on radar than cameras. I know cars with adaptive cruise control uses radar. A camera could detect movement but I don't know how well it could judge distance or speed.
You forgotten that it is the Elon that is behind Tesla... https://electrek.co/2023/03/21/tesla-engineer-convince-elon-musk-not-give-up-radar-self-driving/
So I was right in my thinking of how it should work, but underestimated his ability to screw things up by removing the radar.
