Dodge, Ford, Chevy, Mercedes, etc do not collect nor publicly release data at all, while Tesla does. Because Tesla collects and publicly releases data at their own choosing, they have an obvious motivation to release only data that supports limited liability against them.
They might not be doing that, but until and unless they make all data available every time they make any data available, it's a matter of faith.
Police say "oh, you were doing 75mph in a 50? ticket!"... insurance rate hike, etc... how much liability would they be picking up if they exposed all of that, and how quickly would people be throwing a fit about privacy?
I know multiple people (in multiple states) who have been ticketed based on their youtube videos... im sure police would try to use the logs just the same...
Let's recap this thread:
1. gordon_freeman suggests that Tesla should be forced to disclose what they have, rather than pick and choose what to share.
2. You said that (a) other companies don't do that, and suggested (b) Tesla is being treated unfairly as a result of doing more than any of those companies.
3. I highlighted that, as I believe gordon_freeman was saying, the difference is that Tesla is already collecting that information and using it very selectively, putting them in a class of one. If they were to keep all of the data to themselves, that would be fine, or if they were to release it all, that would be fine, but as it is, nobody really has any reason to believe them.
And now here we are. I'm not sure why you're jumping to liability questions about logs of speeding and bringing up privacy (amusing, that one, when it comes to Tesla's public descriptions of events in their cars). I think the point is clear. Tesla, either provide evidence for your claims, or stop making claims. Simple.
They might not be doing that, but until and unless they make all data available every time they make any data available, it's a matter of faith.
