On today’s surveillance-heavy episode of Quick Charge, it sure looks like Tesla’s in-cabin driver cam failed to stop one woman from falling asleep at the wheel, but safety and attention monitoring may not be the end game for that camera after all.
Fred takes a look at Tesla FSD’s use of in-cabin cameras in three different articles covering how the system can be defeated, what the system might be used for in the future, and what it’s probably being used for now – and none of those things might be what you think!
We’ve also got word of a new lawsuit against Boeing-backed Wisk Aero from a former employee who alleges they were wrongfully terminated for reporting serious software concerns that could have held up the first flight of the company’s 6th generation autonomous eVTOL air taxi.
