This is a very creative idea, but I wonder how practical it really is. The blog seems old and doesn’t go into detail about productionizing such a pipeline formats. Without a straightforward way to address these issues, it feels more like a clever experiment than something scalable for real-world mapping. Because an average tesla owner will not go through those steps.

Why do you want every idiot with a TSLA to do "real world mapping" anyways?

[furkansahin]

since the problem to be solved is "mass mapping", maybe every "idiot" is what you need? language... don't be weird

I’m not sure why you had to be so crude about that, especially since you do not seem to make any specific point, but I think the bigger issue is that teslas are essentially mass surveillance system platforms right under the noses of people.

Just like mobile phones have become personal tracking and sentiment surveillance devices we willingly carry around on us, teslas and many EVs with their cameras are public mass surveillance and tracking platforms that make free movement nearly impossible even beyond such crude systems like the UK’s CCTV surveillance network.

Combine that with things like doorbell cameras and other cheap video surveillance and we have willingly and enthusiastically entered the dystopian matrix.

Public places are now surveilled (which has pros & cons), but you can still go anywhere you want (free movement)... do privacy-related topics always have to be so hyperbolic?

We literally just got past and are even still dealing with the ramifications and ripple effects of the Covid lockdowns (a term originating in prisons) for years, where people were censored, berated, abused, violated, and even beaten; and you’ve already forgotten about those abuses, perhaps because you also took part in them, and now want to chide people for “hyperbole” like any narcissistic abuser always does when their abusive episode has subsided.

No, there is no such thing as hyperbole when it comes to free speech or privacy from narcissistic psychopaths that want to control and abuse you, because when they have you in their clutches they will never let you go.

Psychology considers narcissism incurable as it is a character type, albeit a malignant one, but it can be managed and controlled, even if it is difficult and requires constant vigilance of those who are vulnerable to and target of narcissists. You may want to consider that.

Looks like the hyperbolic assessment was accurate.
