Waymo in-car cameras monitoring passengers raises privacy concerns
Start here
Waymo self-driving taxi in-car cameras have been reported to be used to monitor passengers: their automated technology can identify guns in the vehicle, and human employees can also view footage in real time and have called the police based on it. Waymo, Zoox, and Tesla all say they only have humans review in-car footage when necessary, but the privacy policy wording is broad, and data may be used for product improvement or handed over to law enforcement. Experts point out that the U.S. lacks clear regulations for such surveillance, and passengers can only rely on corporate self-discipline.
