why every car these days doesn’t come with built in dash cam technology
In: Technology
Consider this, OP: a recently published article by Mozilla (see [here](https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/privacy-nightmare-on-wheels-every-car-brand-reviewed-by-mozilla-including-ford-volkswagen-and-toyota-flunks-privacy-test/)) tested 20+ car makers from across the globe and found that exactly ALL of them happily raped your privacyin every concievable manner every time you used your car. They know how you drive, what you listen to, who you call, how many passengers you have, where you go, and, for owners of cars such as Tesla that have cameras as a standard feature, they also have video.
Knowing this, would you still want a factory-installed dashcam?
Then, there’s cost (small options add up to the total cost) and the fact that dashcam laws vary significantly across the world and by state (in the US), making it a complicated subject.
Shit, I almost forgot the kicker: if the dashcam were factory installed, the data could easily be used against you by law enforcement or insurance companies to prove speeding, dangerous driving, or worse.
