I think this is the right way to look at it. Privacy is extremely important to me, but cars are basically lethal weapons. Using them on public roads has to come with a certain amount of responsibility that balances privacy against other goods.

Personally I believe the fifth amendment should protect me from self incrimination.

If you had security cameras at your home, a judge could issue a warrant for that footage.

Seems to me that smart car data is similar - in the event of a crash, a judge could issue a warrant for that data if it is deemed relevant to the case.

And either way, honestly, just don't drive like an idiot and this will never be a problem for you.

Cars have been used on public roads a century without trackers

[sfn42]

Yeah and a lot of innocent people have been financially screwed, injured and killed by idiots who don't appreciate the responsibility that comes with driving a car.

If technology can bring those people to justice I'm 100% for it, they deserve it and their victims deserve justice.

If you want a society where everything and everyone is tracked, we already have it today. It's called China. No privacy comes with some trade offs.

I you are "100% for it" then you can move to China today.

I think it's pretty clear that this is not what I'm suggesting, if you can't see that then you're not arguing in good faith and I think my time is better spent on other things than discussing this with you.
