While the researchers noted Tesla as having privacy options that can be enabled in the car’s settings, they didn’t seem to test how this changes the # of ATA results. Would have been interesting to see how enabling privacy features changes things.

  I wouldn't trust anything Tesla says:

    The grandparent comment doesn't talk about anything Tesla (the company) says. They are sharing findings from independent researchers.

    This was taken while the data privacy option was enabled. An employee going against policy and sharing it in slack for non-work related reasons does not change whether or not the toggle actually stops x camera from sending data back to the mothership.
