No, Austria doesn't forbid using (or even having installed) a video camera in your car, in itself. But they do forbid RECORDING and PUBLISHING (e.g. on social media) videos where a SPECIFIC car (identifiable by the license plates) is visible, or SPECIFIC people (must fuzz them, and maybe edit out voices). Per their DPA's interpretation of data privacy; not the police. The best writeup I found is by Amazing_Bluebird_ at [0a]. (I see some conflicting reports where the Austrian *data protection authority (not the police) gave people civil fines (not tickets) just for having a camera. Sounds like those can be overturned by appealing. I wonder how Austrian Teslas handle all this. Apparently Tesla Sentry Mode ("Guardian Mode") in public spaces in Austria is heavily restricted and generally considered illegal under GDPR.
