Tesla Workers Allegedly Shared Private Recordings and Images from Customer Cars.

Former Tesla employees have claimed that intimate photos and videos of Tesla owners taken by the electric vehicles’ built-in cameras were widely shared among workers despite the company’s privacy protections. The recordings were shared via the company’s internal messaging system, catching customers naked, showing their kids and sometimes revealing their locations. Tesla’s cameras are intended to record driving incidents, as well as power the autopilot and autopark features by recognizing street signs, traffic lights and other roadside obstacles. Tesla has faced controversy for its workplace culture and business practices, as well as its product, including concerns that the autopilot and “Full Self-Driving” features included in some Tesla models have caused crashes and are unsafe for drivers.
