If we look at the Tesla electric car, it has implemented a considerable number of cameras that reliably (although not perfectly) capture the surroundings. But Tesla also has an internal camera. A hacker under the nickname "green" took a look at the software and found out what the car's internal camera is monitoring and apparently analyzing.

  • BLINDED (Driver Blinded?)
  • DARK (Darkness?)
  • EYES_CLOSED
  • EYES_DOWN (Eyes Down)
  • EYES_NOMINAL (Eyes)
  • EYES_UP (Eyes Up)
  • HEAD_DOWN (Head Down)
  • HEAD_TRUNC (?)
  • LOOKING_LEFT (Looking left)
  • LOOKING_RIGHT (Looking right)
  • PHONE_USE (Uses phone)
  • SUNGLASSES_EYES_LIKELY_NOMINAL (Glasses)
  • SUNGLASSES_LIKELY_EYES_DOWN (Glasses, eyes down)

The company only has access to this data if the user allows data sharing. This data is used to improve the software and it is difficult to predict what Tesla electric cars will offer in the future.
