Tesla’s in-car cameras will now monitor you while in Autopilot mode: Here’s how to turn it off

For owners of the Tesla Model 3 or Model Y, it is apparently now possible that the in-car camera will soon be monitoring the vehicle while on autopilot.

According to TechCrunch, Tesla has reportedly enabled the capability through a software update. The use of the new feature was originally spotted on Twitter after a current Tesla owner took to the platform to post images of the latest software version on his Model Y.

Within the release notes, it described “Camera Cabin Updates” as, “If you do want your information shared, then you can change the car’s data settings by going to Tap > Controls > Safety & Security > Data Sharing via the Tesla’s touchscreen. Otherwise, it’s disabled by default and your data is only stored locally.”
