Tesla announced its commitment to preserving the privacy of the owners of its electric cars, but sources within the company confirm the existence of videos that violate the privacy of passengers.
According to former employees of the company, cameras in the cars recorded “very private” footage of passengers, including “indecent” positions and traumatic accidents.
Tesla cars are known for their ability to keep pace with the times and provide comfort through technology and electricity, without disturbing the passenger or his privacy. Therefore, this news that the privacy of passengers in Tesla cars has been breached is particularly worrying.
According to the British newspaper “The Guardian”, these “very private” videos spread alarmingly within the corridors of the company, and some videos were spreading like “wildfire” among employees.
Although Tesla states in its online customer privacy notice that “camera recordings remain anonymous and are not associated with you or your vehicle,” seven former employees told Archyde.com that the computer program they used at work might show the location of the recordings. Which may reveal the place of residence of the owner of the Tesla car.
Given these reports, Tesla must take stricter measures to protect the privacy of car owners.
Additional details on the matter will be disclosed at an annual meeting of Tesla shareholders to be held later this year.
The company’s CEO, Elon Musk, made comments via Twitter saying that Tesla collects data for safety and to improve safety, and that customers can turn off cameras in their cars if they are concerned regarding their privacy.
Privacy is a very sensitive issue in the world of modern cars, but Tesla seems to have some difficulties in this regard. It is important for companies to work to provide more protection for the privacy of customers, and to ensure that their data is not leaked.
