This won't work if PIN to drive is enabled. Most Europeans have on enabled since sophisticated attacks like these are prevalent there.

A bit off topic, but wtf is this?

> Will I have access to images captured by the Cabin Camera?

> No. You will not be able to view the images captured by the Cabin Camera as it’s not associated with your VIN and is intended for analysis to continue to improve vehicle safety.

If you buy a Tesla, it's not really your car, but a mass surveillance machine disguised as one.

And your driving behaviour is free data for training the auto pilot. The tech fetishism is actually clear indication of how badly informed people live without critical thinking. And prevailing argument is that there is no alternative future with privacy and regulations on big tech. What a dystopian dream.

The same logic applies to most phones, every voice assistant, and to most cars sold today. Tesla isn't even the first car company to collect all this data. GM did it with OnStar.

AFAIK that is location and audio, which while still creepy, is not nearly the same as pointing a camera at you.

The Cabin Camera is disabled by default. It's a manual opt-in.

If it's not associated with the VIN, what is it associated with?

So, what I hear you saying is to try this in the US

You'll also need a time machine because Tesla patched this vulnerability.

The article says the patch is going to take about a month to completely roll out.
