Tesla workers shared sensitive images recorded by customer cars

Between 2019 and 2022, groups of Tesla employees privately shared via an internal messaging system sometimes highly invasive videos and images recorded by customers’ car cameras.

"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."

does anyone know if audio is also stored?

This could turn out to be a huge issue for tesla !

What access to this video/audio does the Chinese government have ?

China prohibits Tesla in its military locations.

That doesn't stop Tesla to record a General with the pants down in his civilian home. Blackmailing Chinese could be automated thanks to Tesla powerful AI system.

There's a microphone in a Tesla and Musk said 2 years ago that it could listen to emergency sirens. There's no technical reason that it can't record the sound of moaning either. Sounds are just sounds.

I guess Big Brother is always watching...

Shame there aren't procedures/protocols in place for this to be avoided from the get go. Clearly there are bad eggs in every company at every level of power. It only seems logical to make sure a group of employees can't just screw around with audio and video from a customers car with multiple cameras, not to mention when they didn't consent and their car is parked in their garage... Not happy that a frat-like group is potentially poking around with audio and video of me or my family for shits-and-giggles.

You can use Controls > Software > Data Sharing > Allow Cabin Camera Analytics to prevent any video from the cabin camera from getting sent to Tesla. I don’t believe audio is currently recorded.

If you have FSD beta enabled, you cannot turn off data sharing. It is a condition of access to the early release beta software. If you disable FSD beta, you can disable data sharing, but when you re-enable FSD beta, data sharing will turn back on.

Do you mean like the moaning sound when the FSD goes straight in a turn lane??

Did they change the wording in the share agreement? It seems like they state now that no identifiable data (VIN, etc.) will be sent and before it seemed they did. Maybe I am remembering it all wrong.

Camp + romance mode = moaning sounds

Honestly - if this was true, we would see footage on Facebook, insta, YouTube and TikTok way before some Tesla bashing Yahoo reporter got his / her head around such article.

I say - clear cut case of click byte Tesla hater piece

 

[IronCoffee_Max]

I would like a clear cut statement from Tesla that if data sharing is OFF that it actually is OFF and no data sharing is occurring. I know this exists: Privacy Notice | Tesla Other Europe - but I think it would go a long way to have a statement made.

Didn't the same thing happen at Apple a few years ago with audio Siri clips? They were sharing "interesting" audio clips internally. Too lazy to look it up.

I assume "they" are always watching and listening, no matter what settings on data sharing/access we supposedly allow.

.... because ... some say Musk and Apple are in bed with the government

I have my cabin camera covered with a slider. I really hope it never becomes 100% mandatory for autopilot operation.

 

[FOOLSLFDRVNG]

This would make a good Brazzers skit.

I was reading more about this issue. It really does sound pretty bad. It just goes to show you, you’re not paranoid if they really are out to get you!
