People would love such systems (and I'm afraid our privacy is gone for good).
The real danger is the gradual erosion of individual liberties through the automation, integration, and interconnection of many small, separate record-keeping systems, each of which alone may seem innocuous, even benevolent, and wholly justifiable.
The whole report is public, and it specifically addresses insurance in this context: https://aspe.hhs.gov/report/personal-privacy-information-soc...
looking -> recording -> sharing
These are all different things and our behaviour will and should change at each step.
No one can be drowned by a raindrop. A flood is another matter.
If I'm not that one person I'd have a problem with that.
> why suddenly connecting these dashcams to a network that shares information is a problem?
Switching from dash cams to police helps a bit. I think most people would be okay with one (or a handful) of police officers randomly walking through their neighborhood. Most locales would say it's a good thing.
Now take that to the extreme and have an officer every 10 steps, looking around in every direction, and writing down everything that's happening. Still a good idea?
Probably that bit
What if he was driving like an asshole because he was speeding to the hospital or similar reasons?
A real-life example: my friend was dating a woman whose brother got in an accident. After receiving painkillers, he became addicted to them (an old story at this point). As he weened himself off of them, taking responsibility, my friend would drive him to get methadone a few times a week. A system that uses information from this one would label my friend an addict because he was so often seen driving to or parked at the rehab clinic. When in fact, my friend was a charitable, stand-up guy helping out a soon-to-be family member recover and become a stronger, productive member of society.
