Scott was right.
"You have zero privacy anyway... get over it." - Scott McNealy, Sun Microsystems CEO, 1999
At the Monday night launch of Sun Microsystems' new Jini technology, CEO Scott McNealy calls consumer privacy a non-issue. The Federal Trade Commission has another view. By Polly Sprenger.

For the masses yes; however, that doesn't apply to everyone. You can still take measures to protect your privacy. I get Scott's point though and agree that it does hold true for the majority. That doesn't mean to not try and to do what you can.
When you enable data sharing...does that mean Tesla has pictures of our faces?
Yes.
Doesn't bother me in the least... There are FAR more serious privacy violations in our daily lives than this!
Fair enough. For those that are plastered all over FB, IG, etc... forget it lol... enjoy the cabin camera, say cheese and pick your nose.
If you fear over every conspiracy theory you will go nowhere. As if they even care to look at you. Umphh. you gave up more data posting on a forum.
I disagree. If you take that approach at things then that's your choice. It's not a conspiracy given the type of company Tesla is to question the integrity of their statement.
That's like saying a known felon does not have the potential to every commit a crime again.
And no, you don't give up more data posting on a forum for those that don't disclose their real identity. Not everyone is a social media, online, careless free living hippy that discloses their real info online.
People riding around in public surrounded by windows have no realistic expectation of privacy.
True in that respect. In the public by you walking into that domain is your signing of a waiver ... The context of privacy related issues inside of your own car falls into a different category. That's your private domain and there's no business to be forced to be recorded in order to use features that you've already paid for. - Other makers don't force you to be recorded to use their AP.
yay - another tinfoil hat fueled paranoid rant.
They MUST be lying to you, because they can.
Tesla are lying to us because they've found a way to monetize all that rampant nose picking, the ransom demands are in the mail
In other shock news - infrared "detectors" are just cameras as well.
Not really. It's more like yay, more people who don't get the big picture here.
I'll repost what I wrote above as I'm curious to hear your answer. I'm sure it'll be entertaining.
The point here is that
Tesla is a data/tech company first, collects massive amounts of telemetry/user data, has their own insurance company that records your driving habits, heavily reliant more so than ever on their camera for various functions and wait...(
*phantom brake, screeeeeeeech*)
is a data company first.
There are many people like myself who find that unsettling and for good reason(s). We don't take a blanket statement and take it as the holy grail. Get it now?
Even for the super literal folks that eats what is given without questioning anything, what do you say about all the over promising and under delivering by Tesla/Elon? -- With a track record like that coupled with Tesla being a data company first.... do you still trust them 100%? (That's a rhetorical question btw.)
......What are the reasons why you would not think to question the integrity of any statement coming from Tesla with a track record of, "The boy who cried wolf?"
The first used cell phone was tracked and every single cell phone since that time has been and will be tracked. Also Equifax knows more about you than any other person you know. And we want get into FB and Google. Welcome to Earth.
The irony is the
Tesla camera info NEVER leaves the car but THAT is what you are worried about.

Not everyone uses FB and are slaves to those social media platforms. Even if someone is on there it does not mean that they disclose their real info lol.
As for the credit bureaus that's different on many levels vs the data collection by Tesla etc...
It's apparent that you are so faithful to believing 100% of what you read. Good on you. That's your choice.
The irony? ... There are people who actually care about their privacy. Surprise surprise.
