I know and respect that there is a lot of sarcasm on this thread and I am not an extremist by any meaning of the word. That said, a person normally does not realize the freedoms they have until the freedoms are gone. The vast majority of people on this thread did not know they are being videoed inside their truck. If a person doesn’t wear a seatbelt, a buzzer activates, if a driver drifts out of the lane, the steering wheel vibrates and when the GPS is programmed to go to a specific location, it warns you to obey all laws. I wonder why when the ignition is turned on, there isn’t a warning that you are being videoed? The stated purpose is to record the 30 seconds before impact, but in the wrong hands, it could be devastating. Also I know for a fact that the 30 second loop can be transmitted to a monitor….LIVE. Nobody in forum land is perfect all the time. Yes, even a 5 year old knows they are tracked by their iPhone. However a 5 year old does not know they can turn the phone off, remove the SIM and still be tracked. A 5 year old also does not know they can wrap the iPhone with aluminum foil to prevent tracking. I bet the vast majority of forum readers did not know the audio command/Bluetooth system inside 2017 and newer vehicles can be remotely programmed to stay on and covertly broadcast, via cell connection. The GPS can also be remotely altered to transmit the vehicles live location. This is not unique to Ford, I do not know about BMW’s and the like, but domestic manufacturers are a given. All of the above in the wrong hands….CCP, private investigator, pissed off neighbor, mad ex wife, or a 16 year old with a computer, may be life changing. I think of it like the interior of my house, it is my private area and nobody’s business. I also believe that the world is changing quickly and China is a formable foe. Again, this is just a PSA and knowledge never hurt anyone!

i think this is more for release of liability. ford can be like "see he was getting road head when he hit that minivan full of kids"

Just like your camera on your laptop, can't you just put tape over the camera? Not that I've looked into it much
