how many cameras does it have? be pleased about all your, and your neighbourhoods everydays be uploaded to china, to train face recognition and whatever else

I hate teslas, but byd's are not even slightly better in my eyes.

I don't like the feeling that we may never see a consumer friendly EV anymore, but only ones that exploit their users in any ways they can

China can have all the images they want from my car's. I don't live in China or anywhere near them. I'm more concerned about US made EVs and their surveillance because I travel there regularly, and they are digging hard on everything for people coming into the US.

I live neither in china or the usa, but I don't want myself be recorded by either of their appliances that I use. and that naturally also extends to my neighbors and wherever I go.

its quite interesting how many people suddenly started to love mass surveillance

You can minimize surveillance, but right now it's impossible to avoid it completely. The next best thing is is keeping whatever you can private, and what you can't, try to have it sent to someone irrelevant, like in my case are the Chinese.

Don’t know why exactly are you downvoted

It's very weird. maybe I was a bit too harsh in the beginning, but I don't think it was nearly this bad.

For example I bet the insurance companies love to have some driver behaviour data about you, and the big retail likes to know where/what time you are on the move (though they already get it from the dozens of apps on your phone that have access to location data, like Google Maps)

there are ways to clean it out of a phone, but cars are much more closed down, and if I had to guess they are probably even protected against you cleaning it out software-wise by safety regulations
