Cameras should never be facing the inside of a vehicle, ever.
Neither outside. if you bought the vehicle with the inward facing camera, you accepted being recorded. but if a tesla appears near you, you never ever got the chance to deny being recorded.
The key difference is the centralization of the collected data (like the whole Flock problem vs individual stores having their own CCTV). The issue is that Tesla employees have access to WAY more surveillance data than they realistically should, without having to put any effort in to collecting it.
Edit:
I just wanted to clarify what I meant by “effort”. Normally to get at CCTV data, police would have to get a search warrant for each individual business with probable cause for some crime. If all the data is in the cloud, most cloud providers will just give it all up willingly without a warrant, possibly to anyone if they’re selling the data.
that’s pretty much a problem everywhere these days. no matter how much i value privacy, my friends and family will still give tiktok and meta access to their conctacts, which i am in
Completely on point. But to add

Permission to record in public - like with outward facing cameras - is granted by default. It’s how we get to record cops doing bad things.
Also dashcams n stuff are pretty well accepted at this point lol

yes, that’s why I started caring. all the internet connected cameras everywhere. it cannot stay this way.
