The revelation comes from the new Elon Musk biography, where he suggested that cabin cameras be used to prevail in autopilot investigations.

Elon Musk pushed to use Tesla’s internal driver monitoring camera to record video of drivers’ behavior, primarily for Tesla to use this video as evidence to defend itself from investigations in the event of a crash, according to Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the Tesla CEO.

Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk is out, resulting in several revelations about Tesla’s past, present, and future. One of these revelations is a potential use for the Tesla internal driver monitoring camera that is included on current Teslas.

You thought 1984 described utopia didn’t you?

The cameras won’t be on when YOU need them.

  Thankfully I don’t give in to reactionary fear mongering, being a normal human being.
  
  But you do you! You do it so well, why stop now?
