Tesla workers shared sensitive images recorded by customers’ cars

But between 2019 and 2022, groups of Tesla employees privately shared, via an internal messaging system, sometimes highly invasive videos and images recorded by customers’ car cameras

the computer programme they used at work could show the location of recordings – which potentially could reveal where a Tesla owner lived.

Tesla has employed hundreds of people in Africa and later the United States to label images to help its cars learn how to recognise pedestrians, street signs, construction vehicles, garage doors and other objects encountered on the road or at customers’ houses. To accomplish that, data labellers were given access to thousands of videos or images recorded by car cameras that they would view to identify objects.

To develop Autopilot, Tesla hired data labellers to identify objects in images and videos to teach the system how to respond when the vehicle was on the road or parked.

Good eg on how tech/AI infringes on our privacy.......
