Tesla is actually exactly who forced me to turn it on lol. I’ve had it unchecked since I got the car and had no issues (since July 2021). Now they’re forcing it to be on if you have FSD.Not sure Tesla is the reason your being Forced to turn on the cabin camera. Plus we all bought a car with a camera inside so if that was such a big brother concern most should not have made that choice to hide someone watching you do whatever in your car.
And let’s not get into the semantics of “we all bought a car with a camera inside”. We also all bought a car with windshield wipers but I also don’t want those to be on every time I drive the car. Or the stereo. Or heated seats.
If the camera is there to help not have to jerk off the steering wheel, then get rid of the steering wheel nag. If it’s there just in case for crashes, then it needs to stop crying about someone having a cellphone within its view. I shouldn’t have to feel like the Driver’s Ed instructor is sitting in the front seat, and my wife and mother sitting in the back seat, when I drive my car.
