Move on, nothing to see.
And that’s where Akida will shine. Teslas send a lot of info to The Cloud, and not knowing what gets done with that info from there, is an extremely valid point of this litigation. Once in The Cloud, your data is open for abuse and Completely out of your control. Hence I don’t see this law suit as frivolous.Not sure what happened with this case, but it really highlights the significance of Privacy concerns, in terms of what information is being collected and stored in electric vehicles, which is something that @cosors has also mentioned. In this case the Plaintiff alleges that Tesla’s driver monitoring practices violates his Illinois citizens’ statutorily protected privacy rights. It would be interesting to find what happens with this as I imagine it could set a legal precedent for future facial recognition technology.
It says " The class action complaint seeks to collect statutory damages of $5,000 for every time Tesla willfully or recklessly violated Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. It also seeks to collect statutory damages of $1,000 for each negligent violation of the state’s BIPA. Tesla’s legal team, for its part, is yet to issue a response to the complaint."
If only @Fact Finder were still here. I would love to hear his thoughts on this and, well, pretty much everything else just generally speaking.
Tesla's camera-based driver monitoring system triggers legal complaint in Illinois
Tesla has implemented a number of safety improvements for its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving suites over the years, and this includes updates to its driver monitoring systems (DMS). Last year, Tesla activated its camera-based driver monitoring system in Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, allowing...www.teslarati.com
Facial recognition performed on the sensor, and with no info sent off-board, nay even without any ability to send it off board as it will only be the meta data that the sensor sends to the in-car processor, will set Akida-based systems further above the rest.
Akida, and true edge computing, will not have privacy violation concerns. And that extends to all the external cameras, radar and LiDAR. Those sensors will detect stuff, without needing to store it, and will generate meta data for upstream, but still in-car, processing. This should be the root of a huge marketing play by BrainChip and it’s partners.
I actually hope this law suit finds merit and makes the world stand up and take notice.
Akida can help achieve a completely unconnected autonomous vehicle. That should help people feel their privacy is kept safe.
Actually, having autonomous vehicles that do not require external connections solves another valid consideration — that of your vehicle being hacked and control of it taken over externally. Any necessary updates can be performed whilst stationary and better still, via a physical connection. Maybe whilst charging or servicing for instance.
GPS updates, such as live traffic, would need to be considered. But definitely no updates of any car functions whilst mobile!
