Ask HN: Why isn't Tesla's Sentry system raising more privacy concerns?
3 by aloukissas | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I just learned about Tesla's new Sentry system (in brief, it auto-records video when someone is approaching the vehicle, as a theft deterrent). I understand that the US is way more lax about issues of privacy (e.g. CCTV systems) compared, say, with the EU and UK. But this is a pretty big deal. Not dissimilar with Ring cameras, but at least (in the common case) for Ring cameras one may need to be actually within someone's private property to be in the recording. Here, our faces are recorded if e.g. you are parked next to a Tesla and getting to our own car. What happens to those recordings? Are they time-limited? Are people's faces blurred out (doesn't look like it)? Many questions here. Thoughts?
