Tesla sued over claims staff used cars’ cameras to spy on drivers

Electric vehicle giant Tesla is being sued over allegations that its employees used the cameras on the company’s cars to spy on drivers. The lawsuit, filed in California, alleges that Tesla employees accessed footage recorded by the car’s cameras to spy on and harass a former employee. The former employee claims she was spied on via the cameras and was then wrongly fired for reporting the alleged behaviour. The lawsuit also claims that other Tesla employees have had their privacy compromised by similar behaviour. Tesla has so far declined to comment on the lawsuit.

As technology advances, the issue of surveillance and privacy is becoming more and more of a concern. This lawsuit is just one example of the potential negative consequences of having cameras and other monitoring devices in our vehicles. However, it’s also a reminder of the importance of protecting employees from retaliation when they speak up about wrongdoing in the workplace. It remains to be seen how this lawsuit will play out, but it highlights just how complicated and contentious the issue of privacy and surveillance can be.
