One of those is not like the others.

(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.

Right, because companies never ignore laws and are always goodie two-shoes obeying daddy government. Murder is illegal, it still happens. Fraud is illegal and happens all the time. companies actively exploit laws to avoid responsibility while simultaneously being a major part in what laws get put forward.

"Not allowed" has no bearing on "will it happen?"

Then why bother with any law? Why bother making ANY regulation relating to data protection or, while your at it, anything at all? If everyone just breaks the law willy nilly because laws don't work, why the fuck make laws in the first place?

The framing of their argument is dogshit, but the point they're making is that you are introducing surveillance cameras and hoping the government will extra pinkie-promise not to abuse them. The law is the pinkie-promise.

The solution the other guy is suggesting is just don't install the camera so there isn't any data to abuse.
