My thoughts exactly. This also applies to not cars. American (and indeed global) tech companies are security nightmares, and no amount of posturing about china specifically will fix it. "Great job Patrick we saved the city", they said in front of meta after banning TikTok.
Yeah, Tesla literally uploads footage from cameras and uses telemetry in court cases. From that I kind of conclude all the government agencies have access to all of that data as well.
Huh, curious. There were stories of police/courts subpoenaing Amazon for Ring camera footage because of crime near that camera.. I wonder if cops will notice Teslas near crime/accident scenes and ask the company for footage from those cars..
