Perhaps 1984 is arriving in a Tesla? This is for driver safety and to reduce Tesla’s liability.

Tesla Activates In-Car Monitoring to Ensure Drivers Are Paying Attention
A new Tesla software update activates the in-car camera to ensure that drivers are paying attention while driving.
… The new software update allows the in-car camera (which can be found above the rearview mirror) to monitor drivers using Autopilot. While we don't know the full details of how Tesla's software works, what we do know is that the camera will make sure that drivers are paying attention to the road and surroundings while driving with Autopilot turned on.
… It's understandable that some Tesla drivers may be a bit concerned about their privacy–there is a camera that's now monitoring what you do in your car after all.
However, Tesla made it clear that none of the data leaves the car itself unless data sharing is enabled. In fact, your Tesla can't even save the data without this feature turned on, let alone transmit it.
Interesting thought?

The Tools that B(l)ind: Technology as a New Theology
Humans have always wondered about their place and purpose in the world, anxious about the quality and length of their lives. Typically, religion and theology have filled this existential void by offering meaning, purpose and satisfaction through a relationship with a deity and associated doctrines and practices. However, while institutional and traditional religion has declined in the West, technology can now provide solutions to these anxieties and desires. Technology has become a new theology.
As Grant and Bennett Moses explain, the emergence of technology as a new theology is merely the latest development in a mythological trajectory, a series of explanatory frameworks or narratives that provide the tools to address persisting existential anxieties or desires in a culture, typically centred around the quality and extent of life. Western culture attempted a theological solution to these concerns in the Middle Ages (deity), a political solution during the Enlightenment (the state), then an economic solution after the Industrial Revolution (the market). In the 21st century, the respective failure of each of these attempted solutions has opened the way for technology to emerge as the fourth node in the trajectory. Examples include genomics to enhance human quality of life and longevity, nanotechnology to cure disease and improve resource efficiency, and artificial intelligence to extend the human body and cognitive capacity. Even the ostensibly mundane ubiquity of smartphones has affected human cognition.
Every little bit helps.

How soft law is used in AI governance
As an emerging technology, artificial intelligence is pushing regulatory and social boundaries in every corner of the globe. The pace of these changes will stress the ability of public governing institutions at all levels to respond effectively. Their traditional toolkit, in the form of the creation or modification of regulations (also known as “hard law”), require ample time and bureaucratic procedures to properly function. As a result, governments are unable to swiftly address the issues created by AI. An alternative to manage these effects is “soft law,” defined as a program that creates substantial expectations that are not directly enforceable by the government. As soft law grows in popularity as a tool to govern AI systems, it is imperative that organizations gain a better understanding of their current deployments and best practices—a goal we aim to facilitate with the launch of a new database documenting these tools.
… As AI methods and applications have proliferated, so too have soft law governance mechanisms to oversee them. To build on efforts to document soft law AI governance, the Center for Law, Science and Innovation at Arizona State University is launching a database with the largest compilation, to date, of soft law programs governing this technology. The data, available here, offer organizations and individuals interested in the soft law governance of AI with a reference library to compare and contrast original initiatives or draw inspiration for the creation of new ones.

Artificial Intelligence and the Law: Cybercrime and Criminal Liability
This is a timely collection of research. It explores various topical issues concerning the application of emerging digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), in particular, cybercrime, and the law, which are beyond those ever raised prior to the digital age and in need of innovative legal thoughts. Notably, this collection presents cross-jurisdictional research by including a set of studies either on Chinese law or the common law context. As China is one of the leading countries in digital technologies, the studies on cybercrime and regulation in China provide a valuable resource, and some of the issues studied are also of potential relevance...
