Current protests and demonstrations in Los Angeles have got the most successful robotaxi company (so far) to stop its operations in the city for now. Because, turns out, a car full of high end cameras is not welcome when conflict with law enforcement is at its highest.

The problem is that the cars’ cameras are constantly recording, creating a trove of information police can use.

Full automation means also full surveillance. Who knew?
