Elon Musk pushed to use Tesla’s internal driver monitoring camera to record video of drivers’ behavior, primarily for Tesla to use this video as evidence to defend itself from investigations in the event of a crash, according to Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the Tesla CEO.

Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk is out, resulting in several revelations about Tesla’s past, present, and future. One of these revelations is a potential use for the Tesla internal driver monitoring camera that is included on current Teslas.

Selectively edit out the parts that completely destroy your argument...stop insulting the community.

Not highlighting the entire article is probably a sin to you as well. I stopped because those parts aren’t any different, you doofus.

You guys are just making something out of nothing and I will go dance naked around my Tesla, happily.

I would much rather the car catch someone lying that’s trying to slow the progress of a technology that will save so many lives than I would ever care about being a raindrop in an ocean of recordings.

Just wait till you find out about all the other cameras outside recording you, or that thing in your pocket listening to you.

Bring on big brother already, humans have proven over and over again they can’t be trusted with each other, I’d rather be watched and find that lost or kidnapped kid than live in a world where they get raped because you are all like “mUH pRiVACY”.

You thought 1984 described utopia didn't you?

The cameras won't be on when YOU need them.

Thankfully I don’t give in to reactionary fear mongering, being a normal human being.

But you do you! You do it so well, why stop now?
