Tesla’s Sentry mode, a security feature that uses vehicle cameras to record the activity in the car when it is blocked and parked, has been responsible for capturing acts of IRAL against Elon Musk and Donald Trump throughout the country.
He San Francisco Chronicle The reports that as Tesla vehicles have the objectives of Trump fans, those who hate Trump, promote their anger against the president and Elon Musk through criminal acts ranging from vandalism to domestic terrorism, one of the Haight or the technological characteristics of Tesla has a leg. Elon Musk’s Sentry mode function has caught videos or perpetrators in real time.
The Sentry mode is a system of cameras and sensors that record noise and movement around the vehicle when it is empty and blocked, images in a USB unit in the glove compartment. This technology has proven to be a powerful tool for Tesla owners, who can use registered evidence to identify and inform the authorities.
In a recent incident in the Claremont Resort & Spa parking in Oakland, a woman was caught by the camera scratching a wavy line through the mirror and by a cybertruck tesla. The entire act, which lasts about 40 seconds, was captured by the Cyberruck cameras and then shared on social networks by the vehicle owner.
While it is not clear if this particular incident will lead to a trial, video services as a warning to potential vandals that their actions can not only be recorded but also widely shared online.
Tesla owners through the country depend more and more in the sentinel mode to protect their vandalism vehicles. Some owners, such as Thomas Prather, make sure they activate the characteristic when they are parked in areas known by the anti-tesla feeling, such as Berkeley. Others, such as Julia Muldt, show anti -control dads in their bumpers to express their personal views and deter vandals potentially.
The law enforcement agencies are also filling the evidence of video provided by the Centinela mode of Tesla to investigate and the suspects of judgment. In San José, the police recently arrested an individual on suspicion of liquidating a white tesla in a costco parking lot after a video of the incident, presumable captured by Tesla, circulated online.
There have been several high profile judgments thanks to the images of the Sentry mode. An obese resident of Texas was captured in a video using an ATV to cry in a Tesla, causing damage. A duo of husband and wife in Washington DC with links with the government and the NGOs was also arrested by a series of vandalism attacks after being code by the cameras of a Tesla.
Some Tesla owners, such as John Stringer, president of the owners of Tesla or Silicon Valley, see the Sentry mode not only as a tool for police investigations but also for public shame or vandals. Stringer himself used images of his cyberruck to call a driver who cut it on the road, publishing the video and plaque of another driver on social networks.
As the tensions surrounding Tesla and CEO Elon Musk continue to increase, vandalism incidents against company vehicles are likely to persist. However, with the help of fashion ceninela and the surveillance of Tesla owners, these crimes are becoming increasingly difficult to compromise without consequences, both legal and social.
