      I might be a little old school when it comes to autopilots?

        Cameras should never be facing the inside of a vehicle, ever. I don’t care if it’s for “safety”, get rid of these surveillance tools. There’s a reason the Chinese government won’t allow Teslas anywhere near military installations. Always assume everything we say and do in those cabins is being recorded for the benefit of corporations and governments but never for you. You are the product in a vehicle you purchased.

            Completely on point. But to add

            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.

                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.
