Waymo is facing questions about its use of onboard cameras for AI training and targeted ads.
An unreleased version of Waymo's privacy policy suggests that the company is preparing to use data from its robotaxis, including interior cameras, to train generative AI models and offer targeted ads.
Waymo has clarified that their AI models are not designed to identify individual people and there are no plans to use the data for targeted ads.
The onboard cameras are primarily used to train AI models for safety, find lost items, enforce in-car rules, and improve the service.
