Obligatory reminder that just getting into a car (or walking past one) is considered by pretty much every car manufacturer to be acceptance of their privacy policy:

It's supported by the famous first principle of Descartes: I think, therefore I accept the terms of service
Should there be an expectation of privacy in public? Definitely wrong for footage to be able to wirelessly, without the owners consent, leave a car.
No, but there should be an expectation of not being recorded by every car you come across.
Again, the expectation in public is that you don't have privacy.
The expectation I would have is that your own car isn't going to collect evidence that could be used against you. And that it won't collect data in your own garage or on your property.
Said it in the other thread but: that isn’t legal.
You're right but it reminds me of that cop that killed that fumigator guy in Arizona. Total cold blood murder and that was illegal as well. I used to always tell me dad "no they can't do that" and he would look at me serious as fuck and say "They are the government they can do whatever the fuck they want" its the same idea with rich companies they steal wages and kill workers through incompetence or lax safety practices all the time and sure its illegal but that doesnt matter when you can do it and face no repurcusions anyway.
Yep.
Legality is on paper.
