Robotox cameras for teaching intelligence models

He is preparing to use his robotax data, including videos recorded by internal cameras, which are related to the identification of passengers, to teach artificial intelligence models. This information is unpublished in his privacy policies by the researcher Jane Manchon Wong The discovered has been disclosed and has raised new questions about how much passenger behavior within vehicles may be reused for artificial intelligence training.

Share data for customized advertising

The draft language of this policy also shows that it may share passenger data to personalize advertising. This is not the new issue; He also collected personal data to improve services and promotional purposes.

Ability to withdraw from personal information sharing

The change that comes with this feature is that travelers can have the opportunity to “withdraw” from selling, sharing, or using their personal information to teach artificial intelligence. Julia IlinaHis spokesperson, to Singlechen “This feature, which is still under development, will add no new change to his privacy policy, but it allows travelers to withdraw data for educational purposes (machine learning),” he said.

Privacy Policies

“We may share data to improve and analyze your performance and customize products, services, advertising and suggestions based on your interests,” says the unpublished privacy page. “You can withdraw from sharing your information with third parties unless this sharing is essential for service performance.”

This language is standard in today’s world; But adding cameras to this equation makes it more worried.

Use personal data to safety and improve service

Ilina noted that it uses personal data to teach artificial intelligence models for safety, ensuring vehicle cleaning, finding missing objects, helping in emergency, reviewing the rules of the car, and generally improving products and services.

“Any data that he collects will be subject to his privacy policy” Illina said. “This policy clearly states that it will not share personal information collected from its products and services with other Alphabet companies unless it has been described with the consent of the user, or otherwise described in the privacy policy sharing.”

Monetary and financial challenges

To date, he is the only car company in the United States to make money from robotax services. Until February, the company has recorded more than 200,000 Robotoxy trips per week in its business services in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix and Austin. This number has increased from 10,000 trips per week just two years ago and promises to grow more because he enters the new markets. The company plans to launch commercial services in Atlanta, Miami and Washington DC over the next two years.

Despite these achievements, VMo may still have been harmed for alphabet, and that may be why the company has examined other sources of income, such as in -car advertising and data sharing for manufacturing artificial intelligence models.

Last year, alphabet investigated him for another $ 5 billion, attracting $ 5.6 billion of foreign investors, which increased it to more than $ 45 billion.

He is still investing in research and development, with expansion costs, including increased fleet, purchasing specialized equipment, car maintenance and charging infrastructure.

It is not clear exactly how far he is with a head point, and far from profitability. Alphabet does not specify his financial statistics in his income reports. Instead, it is included in the “other companies” section of the Alphabet balance sheet, which recorded $ 1.2 billion in operational loss in 2024.
