(ORDO NEWS) — Several Tesla employees have been exchanging confidential video footage captured on the brand’s cars for several years.
The video contained not only traffic accidents, but also obscene content. Some of the recordings transmitted through internal chats contained intimate content as well as obscene language.
The company claims that all videos were anonymized and not distributed to third parties, but there is information that there is a tool that allows you to identify the owner of an electric car in the videos.
Also, Reuters journalists found that cameras in Tesla cars can record even in parking mode. Previously, Tesla employees used a video camera in the car to watch the head of the company, Elon Musk, in his garage.
Tesla employees have been exchanging confidential video recordings filmed on cameras in the brand’s cars for several years.
At least nine Tesla employees knew about the distribution of these videos between employees of the company. In the videos that they sent to each other, inappropriate content was recorded, as well as accidents.
One employee claims to have seen footage of a Tesla car hitting a child on a bicycle, and another footage of a naked man approaching his electric car.
The Reuters journalists who broke the story noted that Tesla vehicles equipped with multiple cameras can secretly record even when in parking mode.
Tesla stated that the captured videos are anonymized and not distributed to third parties. However, there is information that there is a tool that allows you to correlate the video with a specific owner.
For example, about three years ago, employees of the company, using a video camera in a car, spotted the head of Tesla, Elon Musk, discovering a Lotus Esprit collectible car from the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me in his garage.
This story caused a great resonance in society and became the reason for the discussion of the issue of confidentiality and data security in the world of technology and science.
