Waymo is working on Generative AI training using “interior camera data associated with rider’s identity,” provides opt-opts for this and data sharing under CCPA
Waymo explicitly states in this unreleased Privacy page it may share your data for personalized ads
And some people still think Bill Hicks was exaggerating.
I wasn’t.
Nothing but end-times news these past couple of weeks.
Nope!!!

Its worse than they think. They’re even recording you having sex.
When I bought my Hyundai they pushed fucking hard to sign up for their Blue link product. Free for life! Look, map updates! You can personalize your driver profile pic! Want to remote start your car over the Internet?
Luckily, my VIN wasn’t working for registration (I guess it hadn’t quite gone through fast enough that the car was purchased). I’ve gone two months without BlueLink and I’m hoping that’s saving me from some of the info gathering (or at least it’s not directly linked to me.
Free for life? Here is always been free for only the first few years of ownership and then you pay, plus the system is fucking terrible and doesn’t work half the time.
Yeah, evidently they really, really want you to sign up. They upped the period from the first three years to as long as you own the car (it doesn’t transfer to a new owner if you sell it).
Man, Waymo was one of the more exciting things I was looking forward to, but I guess I should have waited for the other shoe to drop. Disappointing.
Owned by Google. Unfortunately it was never going to be without data collection.
Why does this change anything if it’s an unreleased policy? Doesn’t that imply they dont use the collected data to train ai if their current policy doesn’t include this? I’m not defending anything I’m just wondering why everyone here is ready to take a screen shot of an “unreleased” document as valid proof a company is doing devious shit instead of the possibility it might be that they went a different direction. I mean I know it’s owned by Google so this is prolly not a good scenario to argue but I’m just saying this seems like such a seedy source for every comment in her to be like yeah fuck them.
Edit: lol I 100% admit this sounds like a total shill comment so obligatory fuck Google to assure anyone I’m not defending Google or waymo just wondering why everyone seems to accept this source.
I remember when ads were considered a bad way to create a business model for a website. Now everyone just tries to stuff more ads into everything like they were doing with cheese in pizzas in the 90s.
They’re making a strong argument for opt-in-only regulations stacked on top of ToS simplicity regulations.
May have to wait until after the revolution, I suppose.
