Tesla's built-in camera system: Privacy concern or crime-solving tool? This Burnaby hit and run incident raises some interesting questions. While the driver inadvertently led police right to their door via a fluid trail and detached fender, the police also confiscated footage from the Tesla's camera system. Where do we stand on the privacy implications of this technology? Is it a necessary evil for public safety, or a step too far in terms of surveillance? What happens to this footage after an investigation concludes? Does Tesla retain access? Could this set a precedent for law enforcement accessing data from our vehicles without a warrant? I predict this type of data collection will become increasingly common in accident investigations, potentially even impacting insurance claims. Imagine a future where your Tesla's cameras automatically upload footage to the cloud after an impact. Convenient for proving innocence, perhaps, but at what cost to our privacy? Lets discuss the trade-offs between safety and personal freedom in the age of connected vehicles. What are your thoughts?
