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.
