[quote=Anonymous][quote] Elon Musk’s willingness to share information about the Cybertruck explosion has highlighted how much data cars collect -- and left some drivers uneasy.
…
 Video footage and other data collected by Tesla helped law enforcement quickly piece together how a Cybertruck came to explode outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day.
The trove of digital evidence also served as a high-profile demonstration of how much data modern cars collect about their drivers and those around them. 
Data privacy experts say the investigation — which has determined that the driver, active-duty U.S. Army soldier Matthew Livelsberger, died by suicide before the blast — highlights how car companies vacuum up reams of data that can clear up mysteries but also be stolen or given to third parties without drivers’ knowledge. There are few regulations controlling how and when law enforcement authorities can access data in cars, and drivers are often unaware of the vast digital trail they leave behind.[/quote]

I guess Tesla willingly shares all data collected with third parties and police(without warrants). Wonder how that works in a traffic accident and with Insurance companies. Many insurance companies are incentivizing drivers to allow monitoring of your driving habits and charging accordingly.

Tesla records your speed, driving efficiency/impairment, locations visited, etc and shares that information with who knows who.[/quote]
