@GossiTheDog on top of the internal sharing among Tesla employees, this article also states that having a Tesla seems to allow you to park a camera everywhere you want to spy other people, and retrieve the data afterwards for yourself... What a mess...

Tesla is not yet well implanted here, so that I've never thought about this use case 😅

@GossiTheDog

This looks like a colossal problem, and I hope it causes as much grief as possible for Tesla.

To complete my threat assessment, is there *any* way to tell from the outside if a Tesla is on autopilot?

@GossiTheDog allo ? la CNIL ?

roonnnnn, pscchiiiiitt....

allo ??

@GossiTheDog i always till people, unless its a off the internet nvr/camera, always assume someone, somewhere, is always watching.

specially if you use them cameras you download an app to use.

@GossiTheDog Do they know that's illegal and a violation of #GDPR & #BDSG since they neither declared it nor provided people with legal custodian details nor retention period and effective opt-out to it?

Cuz last time I checked this was more illegal than uploading unpiixelated raw footage with coordinates from dashcams in Germany, cuz unlike someone submitting their recordings in public with their voices exclusively, this is done without informed consent at all!

I hope @bfdi will look at it...

😲 "Two ex-employees said they weren’t bothered by the sharing of images, saying that customers had given their consent or that people long ago had given up any reasonable expectation of keeping personal data private."

‼️ Wrong:
▪️ For it to be valid, consent must be informed. Were purchasers informed that their images would be shared and mocked by Tesla employees?
▪️ People have a "reasonable expectation" of privacy in many places, including their garages.

Tesla doesn't "get" consent.

@GossiTheDog as someone who owns a Tesla, I can say this report is not factually correct:
- there is no inner camera recording on Sentry unless there is a physical break in.
- there is no recording of inner camera while driving.
- it's a opt in to share old video data, which only occurs at home over wifi and when parked, thus video around the car while driving.
- 9 ex employees who worked there before Tesla enabled inner cameras for break-in https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/5/18296501/tesla-internal-camera-rear-view-mirror-autonomous-ridesharing-service-driverless. The inner camera view when parked and sentry is engaged is only visible to the owner via mobile app or physically turning it on screen with a preview of it on screen.

Tesla is not Elon, nor I think he should be the CEO. But there is this big push from media to push out junk for clickbait. I get it, it pays them bills. But seriously, question what you read.

@GossiTheDog The final lines of that article sum it all up.

"One of the perks of working for Tesla as a data labeler in San Mateo was the chance to win a prize – use of a company car for a day or two, according to two former employees.

But some of the lucky winners became paranoid when driving the electric cars.

“Knowing how much data those vehicles are capable of collecting definitely made folks nervous," one ex-employee said."
