Teslas always are, not even joking. It’s supposed to ensure the drivers are “attentive”.

I hope taping over them does not turn off the car

Obstructing the cabin camera will cause the car to periodically “nag” the driver to apply torque to the steering wheel while the automatic steering system is engaged, depending on the vehicle’s speed

Ahh, ye fair enough. I think that’s a better indicator of the driver being awake than a camera.

If I have learned anything about safety features. They probably do.

If that’s the case, I wonder how tesla is going to defend knowingly selling a vehicle that leads to innattention

Every car brand does this. Tesla is pretty close to unique in allowing owners to opt out, but nearly no one does
Tesla uses attentiveness data as part of their safety assessment of drivers for setting premiums for Tesla insurance as well as to ensure the driver is watching the road while the car is driving itself

Perhaps so. I’ve only driven old second hand cars that have no smart features, and lesson cars that had the cameras removed. That’s unfortunate to hear

God only knows, I’m just impressed it still functioned after exploding.
