And promptly follows a perfect example of Germany's strict data protection. The so-called ~ Data Protection General Regulation (DSGVO) has applied to the entire EU since 2018 and is still being implemented. Nevertheless, anyone who wants to sell or process something here must comply with it. Tesla was made aware of this today. For me, this is not about recording data, but explicitly about recognising faces or behaviour in vehicles, locally and without storing the data. This is the spot for Akida and Nviso, for example. At least that's how I see it.
"Consumer advice center sues Tesla for violation of data protection and misleading environmental claims
19.07.2022, 15:551 min reading time
The Federal Association of German Consumer Centers has sued Tesla. Accordingly, the US electric car manufacturer is concealing the fact that its customers are violating data protection. In addition, Tesla makes misleading environmental claims.
Tesla is facing new lawsuits. The Federal Association of German Consumer Centers justified this on Tuesday with "misleading statements" by the car company about CO2 savings through the purchase of its cars and with data protection concerns when using the so-called guard mode for environmental monitoring. The lawsuits were filed with the district court in Berlin, the association announced in the capital.
The consumer advocates criticize the company's advertising statements, which, according to the association, could give buyers the impression that the purchase of a Tesla reduces the overall CO2 emissions of car traffic. In reality, however, the US group sells the rights it saves on CO2 emissions from its own fleet to other car manufacturers.
Tesla Guardian feature not allowed in public spaces
In addition, the consumer advocates accuse Tesla of not informing the users of its cars that it should be impossible to use the so-called guard function in public spaces in accordance with data protection regulations. Cameras monitor the surroundings and save the recordings in certain cases, which is intended to protect the vehicles. According to the association, this is not permitted under the General Data Protection Regulation.
Accordingly, Tesla owners would have to obtain consent to data processing from random passers-by in the field of view of the cameras. In addition, an unprovoked recording of what is happening around the cars is not permitted at all. The drivers therefore risked fines."

The topic of handling data will become more and more important as time goes on. Here, the field can belong to Akida alone until the others have caught up. I would do more advertising with data protection.
The EU's regulation or guideline on facial recognition. From here it branches out into other guidelines such as dealing with AI.
