Nowadays, many new models are equipped with original driving recorders, which is not uncommon. But in fact, regarding the driving recorder, there are different laws and policies at home and abroad. For example, there is a case in Germany, a man used a driving recorder to record a video of others violating traffic laws, and then the video contained the other party's license plate number and the driver's appearance, and then uploaded to the Network without the consent of the parties. As a result, the man was sentenced for allegedly leaking the privacy of others. So Germany does not prohibit you from using a driving recorder, but it is forbidden to disseminate images without permission, and in Germany the driving recorder cannot be used as court evidence.
So basically no one in Germany installs dashcams. But driving recorders are particularly common in China. On the one hand, it is because there are many areas in China that do not have large-scale popularization of public cameras. Lots of traffic blind spots. On the other hand, when a traffic accident occurs, the evidence of the dashcam can facilitate the traffic police to divide the responsibility for the accident.
With the passage of time, some car manufacturers have now developed a completely new way of playing with driving recorders. For example, this time Gaohe Automobile. His dashcam has such a function. If the same High-Company cars are driving in a team, then you can also see the image of the dashcam on other people's vehicles through your own screen. So does this amount to an invasion of privacy? I think this has seriously violated the privacy of other car owners. Gaohe Automobile must sincerely apologize to users and completely solve this problem.
However, to our surprise, in a statement released by Gaohe Automobile, it still emphasized that this function fully considered the user's privacy protection at the beginning of development, and set up multiple protection and confirmation measures. There is no leakage of user privacy.
But the official explanation is obviously very pale, because through the previous video we can find that the owner of the car is not authorized by the other party, easily saw the image of other people's driving recorders on his own big screen.
In fact, this incident reminds us that not long ago, there were many government agencies and communities that banned Teslas from entering. In fact, the reason and reason are similar to this Gaohe car. There are a lot of cameras on the car now, and even many cameras are installed in the car to monitor whether the driver is tired of driving.
However, even these cameras inside and outside the car have the risk of leaking user privacy all the time. Even the places you've been, the people you've met, even the things you've chatted with in the car, may be able to understand through technical means in the future, which is a very scary thing.
Because this has greatly changed the user's traditional perception in the past. In the past, we users thought that the car was relatively safe and a highly private place. So we may do something particularly private in the car, something we don't want others to know. But in the future, we will be extra careful about what we do in the car, what we say, and where we go.
At the same time, we also want to remind Gaohe Automobile to face up to its mistakes and sincerely apologize to users!
