US Consumer Magazine "Tesla Vehicle Interior Cameras Raise Privacy Concerns"

"Other Companies' Monitoring Technology Operated as Warning for Drivers in Case of Issues"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] American electric vehicle company Tesla is recording and transmitting passengers inside the vehicle through in-car cameras to develop autonomous driving technology, raising privacy concerns, according to the U.S. consumer magazine Consumer Reports on the 23rd (local time).

According to the report, Tesla previously stated that it is researching some footage recorded from in-car cameras as part of its autonomous driving technology research. Consumer Reports pointed out that "such use of (footage) raises privacy concerns and may undermine the safety benefits for drivers."

Consumer Reports also noted that Tesla's approach contrasts with other automakers such as GM, BMW, and Ford, which have stated that their driver monitoring systems do not record, store, or transmit data or video. These companies' monitoring systems operate using infrared technology to identify the driver's eye movements or head position and warn the driver if a problem is detected.
