AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/19 Report--

On March 19th, a notice about the ban on the entry and parking of Tesla cars in a military family home attracted attention on the Internet. Judging from the exposed pictures, the notice was signed by a certain military family courtyard. The notice pointed out that "Tesla brand cars are equipped with omni-directional cameras, ultrasonic sensors and a series of technical devices that can expose the target location. In order to ensure the absolute safety of military secrets and put an end to hidden dangers, it is forbidden to drive and park vehicles of this brand in the area of the family hospital."

The issuance of this notice may be related to a hot search by Tesla before. Earlier, a foreign hacker @ greentheonly posted on Twitter a scene captured by Tesla's built-in camera after activation: the image can clearly see the inside of the vehicle and the driver, causing discussion and concern. Is Tesla monitoring every user all the time? How to ensure the privacy security of users?

Tesla CEO Musk admitted on the social platform on March 13 that he would monitor drivers' driving behavior through cameras. Subsequently, the topic quickly became a hot search.

In fact, with the development of intelligent cars, many cars have the function of driver detection system, which can monitor the status of drivers in real time through in-car cameras, such as supervising drivers' standard operating behavior, fatigue driving, answering and making phone calls, and other unsafe driving behaviors. However, considering the privacy of the people in the car, the cameras are usually installed in front of the A-pillar or the steering wheel, such as Tesla's camera installed above the rearview mirror can monitor less of all the people in the car.

From the perspective of car safety, it may be necessary to install camera monitoring on automotive products, but how to strike a balance between security and privacy is also a problem that major car companies should consider.

According to the Shanghai Securities News, Tesla China responded that "Tesla monitors the car owner through the in-car camera", saying that the vehicles used by Tesla users do not invade users' privacy through the in-car cameras, and all Tesla users' vehicles in the Chinese market do not turn on the in-car cameras and do not involve FSD Beta testing. Tesla China also said that Tesla's privacy protection policy abides by Chinese laws and regulations, Tesla attaches great importance to the protection of user privacy, and Tesla is equipped with a global leading network security system to ensure user privacy protection.

Some netizens believe that it is not unreasonable for many military and government secret units to ban iPhone, and there are many cameras on Tesla, which may be called by Tesla, and military and government secret units should also be banned! Some netizens said that Musk admitted it but Tesla China denied it. Who should I trust? Installing a camera in the car is not a big deal, but the scary thing is that the data is on the cloud.
