Two reports on Waymo’s internal data strategy reveal conflicting signals over the use of in-car camera footage. One story states that Waymo has no plans to use its robotaxi camera data for targeted advertising, emphasizing privacy and limited data use. A separate report, however, cites a draft privacy policy suggesting the possibility of leveraging interior video to train generative AI models and deliver personalized ads. Both narratives spotlight the company’s challenge in reconciling advanced AI ambitions with user privacy concerns and regulatory scrutiny.
Prepare to be under surveillance.
Waymo won’t use robotaxi camera footage to train AI for targeted ads, as confirmed by spokesperson Julia Ilina. This decision comes amid reports of an unreleased privacy policy page offering customers the option to opt out of sharing their personal information.
Waymo will use robotaxi data—including rider-linked interior video—to train AI models and may share it for personalized ads, as revealed in a draft privacy policy.
