AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/14 Report--

Tao Lin, vice president of foreign affairs of Tesla, said at a round table forum organized by the National Development and Reform Commission that "the data collected by Tesla in China will strictly abide by China's laws and regulations on data management and achieve local storage," thepaper.cn reported. This may be another way for Tesla executives to respond to consumers' privacy and security concerns after the heated discussion about Tesla's camera in his car.

Tao Lin also said, "Tesla must abide by all Chinese laws and regulations in China. In the future, the information collection of all smart cars may be a standard configuration. In this process, it is necessary to cooperate with regulators at all levels to formulate sound plans. Let consumers enjoy convenience while enjoying safety, which can be achieved through technical means and institutional settings."

However, many netizens think that Tao Lin's response is of little significance. First of all, Tao Lin said that "the data collected by Tesla in China will be stored locally", but she did not mention which data will be stored in China and whether the rest of the data will be stored in the United States. Second, Tao Lin did not specify where the data exists and how to keep the user data. Tao Lin simply said that user data will be stored in China, but it is hard to believe that there is no specific implementation.

In early April this year, the "high-definition picture of the camera inside Tesla's car" was exposed. judging from the exposed video, the camera in Tesla's car could clearly see the movements, postures and facial expressions of the driver and passengers in the car. However, as the rearview mirror shell blocks part of the camera's view, the operation details cannot be recorded, nor can the picture of the rear window be recorded.

The video quickly sparked a heated debate after it was exposed. In response, Tesla responded, "the cab camera is not currently activated in the market outside North America." Even in the United States, car owners are free to choose whether to turn it on or not. " But even so, Tesla's explanation does not seem to convince consumers, still worried about whether it caused privacy leakage.

In response to the "Tesla car camera high-definition picture" incident, Xinhua News Agency commented, "Tesla should understand that the privacy involved in the car is not something you want to pick!" "the installation of cameras in the car may objectively bring a lot of convenience in ensuring the safety of drivers and vehicles, but no matter how convenient it is, it must not be at the expense of arbitrarily transferring personal privacy and information," Xinhua said. Whether the camera in the car must be installed by default at the factory, whether the consumer needs to sign a consent form after installation, and whether it can be authorized at one time rather than for a long time when it is enabled, all need to be made clear by the enterprise. "

With regard to the storage of user data, regulations will be issued one after another. On April 7, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the guidelines for Intelligent Network connection Automobile Manufacturing Enterprises and Product access Management (for trial implementation), requiring intelligent Internet connection automobile manufacturers to take necessary technical measures and other necessary measures to effectively deal with network security incidents and protect vehicles and their networking facilities from attack, intrusion, interference and destruction. At the same time, personal information should be collected, used and protected in accordance with the law, classified and graded management of data should be implemented, important data catalogs should be established, and sensitive information related to national security should not be disclosed.
