sounds like a fun thought and I drifted into it for a second then came back down.

I park my car in my garage. So they would only be seeing my dark garage.

So we know when you are home and not just out and about with out a phone.

Also, it would be a great time to advertise to you at the end of the day.

Well, that's true. But most people (me included) always have our phones with us. So they know when I'm home and not home now anyway (because we know they can track us through our phones).

Two trackers are better than one.

LOL! Yes, you are right!

Pretty much every car has a gps system in it already. ....

Doubt it. Cameras are angled down, don't work in the dark, and offer low resolution with no audio.

On top of that each car would require a wireless 3g/4g connection etc.

Your cell phone on the other hand....

"Internet of things" is coming. All cars will be networked in the future, most new cars are probably already ready for some degree of it. You're right about smartphones too, but imagine your car has a smartphone built into it. Because that's how it'll be in the future, some cars already have mobile internet connections as a selling feature.

Please see my other post ITT.

3/4g connection is mandatory for all new cars now in EU:

Not really. They used sattellite for onstar why wouldnt they use satgellite for this?

Many new cars already have a cell modem, WiFi and other wireless connections.

I think a 24/7 feed is going too far, but as for hacking in on demand, why not? Most modern cars will also have your phone connected so it’s perfectly possible to to arrange for a backdoor to allow access on an ad hoc basis.

If you're worried about this, you can treat cameras on your car the same way you treat cameras on smartphones or computers. Cover them up when they're not actively in use. Or if you don't want it at all, you could easily permanently disable the hardware altogether or permanently cover it.

While you can do that, it is not very practical and also it doesn't stop other cameras from watching you or your vehicle.

Probably to read plates to feed quantum conquers to digest daily life and profit/ control.

Interesting question. I was curious about the security of today's "infotainment" systems once I saw more and more new vehicles are available with 360 degree cameras. Who knows if there is a way to verify if they can be remotely accessed while the vehicle is being driven, and if they record and store any data that may be reviewed in the event of a collision or accident that leads to a claim against the manufacturer. I understand the need for the cameras but I wonder if they record and store any data.

Nice theory OP.

Not only an issue when parked. Also when driving the camera will see the car behind and more importantly, its license plate. This way the aprx. location of pretty much all cars will be known at all times. Authorities would then perhabs enable Video feed (or picture snapshot) from the camera if they need to for various reasons.

HOWEVER, it would need to upload this location (and perhaps video) data. This of course ties in with the mandatory SIM card for 'automatic emergency calling' that has just come into effect:

So now the situation is: ALL new cars will have backup camera and ALL new cars will have internet connection.

Interesting thought train.

1. Cameras mandatory

2. 3g / 4g / 5g connections mandatory

3. My partner has a Nissan Leaf. She does not pay for the 3g connection. It updates itself, paid for by Nissan?

4. Therefore you do not need a data plan. The car is still connected even if you shut off your voluntary connection. Re: Onstar

5. Cameras can have motion detection in software easily now.

6. Upload only when there is interesting motion in the picture.

7. Paid for / subsidized by the NSA, DARPA, or Big Data.

Those cams wouldnt be the ones to worry about, unless you found out they had better resolution than the display lets you see. Conversely, if police vehicles had 4 directional cameras for their 'guys in the chair' to review and search for missing persons, vehicle apb's, and license plates, that would be a bigger issue imo.

Every single camera installed everywhere is part of the panopticon. It doesn't matter where it is installed or how shitty it is, it is part of the plan.

What about a colonoscopy camera

awesome you made me laugh!

One's got to know what kind of shit is coming.

I pulled up to a stop light behind an suv with a back up cam yesterday and swear I had the same thought. Getting us to spy on ourselves. That's crazy
