Two cases in a row: indecent photos in the car are frequently exposed, is there any privacy in smart cars?
Just recently, a picture of what is suspected to be an indecent photo of the interior of the ideal car was uploaded on the Internet. According to online information, this indecent photo is ideal MEGA, which soon caused a lot of controversy on the Internet.
However, soon on April 15, the legal department of Li Auto issued a statement on its official Weibo that it had received a report from a user that he had seen someone in the WeChat group spreading the so-called indecent pictures taken by Li Auto's in-car camera. Ideal official response is that more than 700,000 ideal cars have been delivered, and none of the car's in-car sensors have the ability to remotely view and store pictures and audio and video, and Li Auto puts privacy in the most important position, and even the dash cam only allows the owner to store locally, and does not record sound.
Li Auto respects and protects the privacy and security of users, and all data processing behaviors comply with the relevant requirements of national laws and regulations. At the same time, Li Auto also said that criminals used other equipment other than vehicles to create and spread online rumors through counterfeit means. Li Auto has collected relevant evidence and adopted legal means to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Li Auto and users. At the same time, it also stressed that the general public knows the truth and does not believe or spread rumors.
As for the truth of the matter, we still need to be investigated by the relevant departments.
Coincidentally, a similar incident occurred just a few days ago, and the protagonist was Gaohe Automobile.
The cause of the incident was in early April, when it was reported that the in-car camera of the Gaohe car had taken indecent photos. In the lower left corner of the photo, there is also the time of shooting, as well as the model and icon information of Gaohe car, and soon the photo began to circulate among car owners and on the Internet.
As a result, for a while, the discussion about the backstage of Gaohe Automobile assisting the privacy of car owners sparked heated discussions among netizens on the Internet.
On April 9, the official statement of Gaohe Automobile stated that there is no official acquisition or leakage of relevant images, and the background of Gaohe Automobile cannot remotely retrieve the local image of the camera from the technical and legal point of view, and the local image data recorded by the camera in the car will not be uploaded to the cloud. In an interview with the media, the customer service of Gaohe Automobile also said that there are no such situations in the functional settings of Gaohe Automobile, otherwise a wide range of users will come to feedback.
In just half a month, there have been two incidents about privacy leaks in the car. In the view of Che Kuai, no matter what the truth of the matter is in the end, as a car owner, if you are driving a smart car with an in-car camera, you should still be as cautious as possible in daily use.
Just like the mobile phone we use, there may be many times when you just inadvertently say that you want to buy something, and the corresponding product will pop up after opening the phone.
The same is true for cars, since they are intelligently networked, they may leak privacy.
When we ask whether smart cars have privacy at all, we still have to give Xiaomi cars a thumbs up. Because the Xiaomi SU7, which has not been on the market for a long time, is equipped with a one-click privacy mode. In addition, there are also BYD and other car companies, in order to avoid the privacy of car owners, a small baffle has been added to the camera part of the car. When not in use, pull the bezel to completely block the camera.
Finally, I would like to call on many smart car manufacturers to make more efforts to protect customer privacy.
