There is an Israeli startup that does this (using machine vision and freely issued iPhones to rideshare drivers; the name escapes me at the moment, I apologize) to provide data to insurance companies for better pricing of auto insurance rates.

I'm not sure I want to live in a future where my Tesla is a mobile sensor platform for someone else's benefit besides myself and Tesla, although I can see the allure of negating the need for LEO patrols on road infrastructure once a critical mass of sensor platform vehicles is reached in an area. This would require a herculean amount of governance and transparency to be okay with me, and I would expect more sanity in road legislation (higher reasonable top speeds, for example) as well.
