You put your hands on the steering wheel.

Modern cars are...

you know, can collect your heart rate from the steering wheel.

You then are looking ahead.

Your face, there's a camera that's like looking at your face and people say, what, how's that possible?

But if you've ever gotten the attention alert from a modern car, right, that's because it's scanning your face to see are your eyes on the road and are you focused and paying attention, right?

So you pull into the gas station.

The gas station owner likes to make sure that they know what goes on on their property.

So they have surveillance camera.

That surveillance camera picks you up, but they have a contract with the camera vendor.

So they're getting the footage, but a camera vendor is also getting that footage that's in the cloud.

And as AI systems advance, more and more insights can be gleaned.

And those insights can be like, who is the person?

What is their identity?

emotional state as they're looking at something.

What are they wearing?

What's the significance of that?

That's exactly it.

At the end of the day, this surveillance is something that has been termed by a brilliant professor, Shoshana Zuboff,

Surveillance capitalism.
