So many people say, ok, so you've got a camera in the cabin. A, that's an issue around privacy. And t almost seems to be like tesle are doing something completely different. So i don't really see it as an issue about privacy. By knowing what the driver is doing in the car in real time, we then come to this situation. I just don't know what they're trying to do with this er in cabin camera, which doesn't have infered functionality.

Whether you're curious about where camera DMS comes from, how it works, who develops it or where it's going as a business, Barnden (and this episode) has the answers you seek.
