Also curious about this. Tesla has the ability to to hoard millions of hours of driving experience per year. Data seems to trump all in ML applications so far and Tesla definitely has the most available to harvest.

At the same time, Tesla is primarily video based and it is likely quite difficult to call home with gigabytes of video every night.

Is it possible to disable reporting? If, say, I'm not thrilled by idea telling the guys from Tesla where I'm heading to?
Yes
How? Even Tesla's with autopilot equipped (but not purchased) capture data.
You get a chance to decide if you want to send the data to them.
According to this link[0] posted above:

"Of course, the bandwidth varies based on what network it’s being sent from – meaning that some owners can track their home network, but not the data sent from the in-car cellular connection, which is covered by Tesla and managed by AT&T in the US."

That's pretty clearly part of the long term play
And I hope we can end this stuff where companies take training data produced by civilians for free, and then keep it secret.

If you use data given to you by your users, you should have to release it into the public domain.
