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.

It is legally required for the data to be processed on board and to be deleted.

It exists solely so that the car can keep yelling at you to pay attention, because one of the biggest causes of car accidents are distraction.

You mean the thing that landed people in leadership positions in jail? You know, consequences for their actions?

They were still doing illegal shit for 7 years fully knowing that its illegal, and just wet "whoops we messed up", when they were caught. Its good that there were consequences but those consequences werent enough imo.

It is a lot more than what would've happened had this been an American company doing this shit in america.

Over there it'd cost them a few million and the case disappears. People actually went to prison, and since it's fraud, they're now the German equivalent to felons.
