BEIJING: The Chinese military banned Tesla cars from entering military housing complexes, citing security concerns over the cameras installed on the vehicles, according to two people who saw notices of the directive.
Separately, the Wall Street Journal reported that China’s government was restricting the use of the company’s cars by personnel at military, state-owned enterprises in sensitive industries and key agencies, as they could be a source of national security leaks.China’s State Council Information Office and Tesla did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. China Defence Ministry could not be immediately reached for comment.
Tesla top boss Elon Musk has been open about the internal camera, taking to Twitter in 2019 to say: “It’s there for when we start competing with Uber/Lyft & people allow their car to earn money for them as part of the Tesla shared autonomy fleet. In case someone messes up your car, you can check the video.”
