Nissan also detects you having sex in the car and phones the info home.
What ahaha.
Their privacy policy includes a provision that they can use the cameras and GPS to infer things such as sexual orientation, so yeah.
While this fucked up, documenting sexual orientation is not exactly recording sex. Someone could simply use GPS and see that the only place in the area that's open is the gay bar and infer from that, or even lip reading.
You know, we can use vision ai services to do that now, dang yo time flies
no.
Not a ~~hot dog~~ bird

Which cameras?
I don't think they have interior cameras (although other manufacturers do), but the front and backup camera feeds provide plenty of information as well.
Then there's also this, if you need any more reason to be concerned.
Can just stop there. Unless people are banging on the bonnet, not sure what the point is.
If you read the linked article you will find that exterior cameras feeds are plenty invasive enough.
I don't disagree, but this is what was said:
Unless there are cameras in the car then no.
There are enough sensors in cars to detect a rythmic motion. It doesn't need cameras for that.
