Cameras should never be facing the inside of a vehicle, ever. I don't care if it's for "safety", get rid of these surveillance tools. There's a reason the Chinese government won't allow Teslas anywhere near military installations. Always assume everything we say and do in those cabins is being recorded for the benefit of corporations and governments but never for you. You are the product in a vehicle you purchased.

Neither outside. if you bought the vehicle with the inward facing camera, you accepted being recorded. but if a tesla appears near you, you never ever got the chance to deny being recorded.
The key difference is the centralization of the collected data (like the whole Flock problem vs individual stores having their own CCTV). The issue is that Tesla employees have access to WAY more surveillance data than they realistically should, without having to put any effort in to collecting it.
Edit:
I just wanted to clarify what I meant by "effort". Normally to get at CCTV data, police would have to get a search warrant for each individual business with probable cause for some crime. If all the data is in the cloud, most cloud providers will just give it all up willingly without a warrant, possibly to anyone if they're selling the data.
that's pretty much a problem everywhere these days. no matter how much i value privacy, my friends and family will still give tiktok and meta access to their conctacts, which i am in

Well, you have an enlarged image of tiny plastic head of a Chinese driver in the picture.

I was just sarcastic because it’s obviously an AI generated from the title with no context for the AI.

Completely on point. But to add

Permission to record in public - like with outward facing cameras - is granted by default. It's how we get to record cops doing bad things.

I might be a little old school when it comes to autopilots?

How about non Chinese drivers, wearing a baseball cap or a Fedora hat
