Elon Musk pushed to use Tesla’s internal driver monitoring camera to record video of drivers’ behavior, primarily for Tesla to use this video as evidence to defend itself from investigations in the event of a crash, according to Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the Tesla CEO.

Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk is out, resulting in several revelations about Tesla’s past, present, and future. One of these revelations is a potential use for the Tesla internal driver monitoring camera that is included on current Teslas.

Lmao "tesla" and "human progress".

Yeah then go ahead and let the car spy on you. Let the country implement good citizen scores while we are at it.

Privacy is a human right, and an internal camera is pointless to the "progress" you are talking about. It's there to catch you out on a technicality to deny a settlement when the "self driving car" cripples you.
