REUTERS/Arnd WiegmannAMSTERDAM, Feb 22 - The Dutch personal data watchdog said on Wednesday it would not fine Tesla Inc.Tesla uses such cameras in its cars to help owners protect them against theft or vandalism, but the Dutch Data Protection Authority investigated them as a potential violation.
"Many Teslas parked on the street were often filming everyone who came near the vehicle, and these images were being saved for a very long time. If every car were to do that, we’d have a situation where no one could go anywhere in public without being watched," said DPA board member Katja Mur in a statement.The agency said Tesla had made changes to its "Sentry Mode" feature in which the cameras are activated since the DPA investigation began.
