Recently some reports have been circulating in the media regarding some Tesla Employees Share videos owners’ personal and saving them without permission. This is totally unethical and also against the law. Here is what this is all about.
Tesla Employees Share Videos
It has been reported that Tesla employees have been sharing private videos of car crashes, road rage incidents, and other types of videos on the internet. It has been said that this act is a violation of privacy and is illegal.
The videos were reportedly shared or stolen through Telsa’s internal messaging system. The videos were from 2019 all the way to 2022. It included all of the above and these videos were reportedly also shared on the internet. Many of the clips ended up going viral and being used in memes causing outrage among the vehicle owners.
Telsa Ex-employee spills the beans!
A former employee tells Tesla that “We were able to see inside people’s garages even when the vehicle was off”.
“Let’s say that a Tesla customer had something in their garage that was distinctive, you know, people would post those kinds of things.”
This proves that the whole “Tesla Employees Share Videos and violates Privacy” is true to a greater extent.
How much of this is True?
Well, most of this is probably true. According to sources, Tesla used to have a policy that allowed the company to receive or view recordings from non-running vehicles if customers signed on to it. This allowed for extra security of parked vehicles in hit & run or stealing cases.
Tesla’s Move
Then after updating the Sentry mode Telsa has now made sure that no one can access the recorded footage except for the owner of the vehicle.
Now on the feature support page, Tesla has added that no recording can be accessed by the company as well as all the live streaming is end-to-end encrypted and fully secure.
Tesla also added a couple more privacy updates to Sentry Mode following the investigation. Now cameras only start recording when the vehicle is touched, instead of right when it detects suspicious activity. Tesla also started warning passersby that its vehicles are recording by making their headlights flash.
