This …europa.eu/…/safer-cars-safer-roads-new-rules-tak… does not explicitly mention “camera”, like most news articles does, but I guess the points

Advanced driver distraction warning system to keep drivers focused

and

Better forward vision

are a bit hard to implement without camera + computer vision.

But there is no requirement to send that data anywhere

  Automakers collect and store all data by default. If there’s no law saying they CAN’T collect it then gunnery collect it.

    Data is a valuable commodity. I think one car company filed a patent not long ago for a system that listens to conversations in the car and then serves advertisements on the central console based on those.

    To follow drivers jerking off to gay porn. The biggest fear of America.

  I recently watched a few videos about people taking the modems/WiFi boxes out of their new cars to stop the constant data collection.
  On one of the videos there’s a warning that if you attach your phone to your car then the car will almost certainly start to contact through the BT to ‘phone home’ again to send data that way.

  And without consent is against EU law with a €20M fine.

    You’ll just sign the consent by getting in the car. They already do that for the microphones.
    
    Will it hold up in court? We’ll only know once someone sues.
