Tesla staff shared video footage captured by cars – report

Child hit by car among videos 'captured by Tesla vehicles, shared among staff'

Tesla workers over the past few years have reportedly shared sensitive and embarrassing videos captured by the cameras built into their customers' cars.commitment that"camera recordings remain anonymous and are not linked to you or your vehicle" doesn't mean much because the videos are linked to locations which in turn can reveal the identities of the owners.

Also reportedly popular among employees was a video of the white Lotus Esprit that can turn into a submarine, from the 1977 James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me. This was recorded in a garage, near a video-recording Tesla presumably. As it happens, Tesla CEO Elon Musk purchased the custom Lotus at auction in 2013.

One employee told Reuters that in the past, Tesla could capture video from vehicles even when the cars were turned off if owners consented. That apparently is no longer the case.
