I will be sure to think of that the next time I see a human driver whose car has 29 dash cams, 5 lidars, 4 radars, and is using four H100s to process all of its realtime images of me: https://thelastdriverlicenseholder.com/2024/10/27/waymos-5-6...

What is someone doing with all that which they can't do with front and back dashcams?

Correlation of data across time and other cars in the fleet.

A ring camera can do image recognition and store durations of video where a person is in frame. I'm not sure what the privacy difference is between these two. Is lidar and radar recording that much more of a privacy concern than video recording.

I'm pretty sure between traffic cameras and security cameras lots of commuters on th street are being filmed. With or without Waymos

Frankly I'm not ok with Ring cameras with a field of view extending past the property line either

Yeah, I mean it’s apples and a two trillion dollar adtech business.

I don’t understand why so many comments here are missing the context
