All joking aside, I do not trust background recording on PC. I’ve seen how easy it is to bypass Steam Link’s restritions on streaming your desktop, I guarantee that some of these clips would end up with something I don’t want in them. I do think metadata annotation on long manual recordings is potentially interesting, but it IS creepy.

I don’t really see the issue with this as long as the videos are processed locally and only uploaded if the user chooses to.

How so?

This happens even on newer Toyotas, so it’s not exactly company-specific. The issue is the biased training data used for the face recognition system.
