Did you read the comment?
The problem is self-driving vehicles implemented with fleet data that vacuums up everything will spy on everyone, not just the driver.
They need to be implemented with on-board redaction.
Otherwise there is no choice for anyone, the companies or the ruling party can do facial or gait recognition on pedestrians and other drivers, and scrape license plates of of all parked and driving cars from the data stored in the cloud.
With just Lidar I imagine this is less of a problem, but at least pedestrians in that case will still need to be redacted for gait recognition.
My first comment wasn't about your regard to personal privacy, it was with regards to everyone's. One person's data is mostly worthless; everyone's is priceless.
