Yeah in this case I think it’s more a case of “hey this guy looks kind of like my son”. In this case I think it led to a miscarriage of justice, but I think in other cases that kind of thinking could protect against excessively harsh punishments. In the end I think it comes down to inequality. Bigger inequality shrinks the pool of people judges can intuitively relate to, which in turn makes judgements more unequal.

Even if Tesla itself doesn’t do that, it’s something to be concerned about in case a vulnerability is found that allows remote access to the camera’s (or worse any local video recordings that may exist).
