Interesting. Though, of course, the rest of their business is built on deep data monitoring and mining: http://fortune.com/2015/10/16/how-tesla-autopilot-learns/ http://www.computerworld.com/article/2489327/personal-technology/hacked-passwords-can-enable-remote-unlocking--tracking-of-tesla-cars.html http://jalopnik.com/tesla-is-already-tracking-its-cars-to-teach-them-to-dri-1736582289 I suppose, if invasive data capture is used for actual useful things, and not just improving ad targeting, then it is okay. I just hope they are starting to employee the ideas of differential privacy that companies like Microsoft and Apple are finally embracing. https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~aaroth/Papers/privacybook.pdf -- Nathan of Guardian [email protected] _______________________________________________ List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To unsubscribe, email: [email protected]
