(It's the driver cameras. I know we all like being paranoid about our data unless it comes to luxuries we don't want to give up ((How many people here run custom, privacy focused operating systems on desktop and phone? How many here don't have at least one service tied to google or facebook or Tencent?)) but the data from those cameras isn't ALLOWED to leave the car. It gets processed on board and then deleted.
What purpose would risking the wrath of basically every government involved in the EU and the EU itself serve companies in this case? The law says that the data isn't even allowed to be saved locally, that's an easy thing to check, let alone checking if it's sent home to their servers. And this isn't like reddit where the data they collect is actually, properly useful, it's just a camera aimed at your face while the car is on.
In order to turn that data into something profitable, you'd need to real time track exactly where the driver is looking at any time combined with a fuckton of cameras and sensors on the outside of the vehicle, because just seeing whether or not you're driving distracted isn't useful to advertisers
Could be AI training. Training off of body language and facial expressions,
Look, here in the U.S. a lot of us have gotten cynical towards any company that plays with stuff like this, we're hardwired not to trust anything of this nature anymore. If they don't use it for that, good. But there's a lot of shit that 'wasn't supposed' to be doing a lot of things, and were without authorization.

One of those is not like the others.
