Tesla is holding an investor day showcasing its self-driving tech later this month.
Elon Musk has revealed the purpose of a tiny camera just above the rear-view mirror in Tesla vehicles.
A Tesla enthusiast's account first posted about the camera, irked by not knowing the purpose of its inclusion in Tesla cars. A video shows the enthusiast closing the camera's cap. Musk replied to the tweet, saying that the company is planning to put it to use once it launches its own fleet of autonomous vehicles to compete with the likes of Uber and Lyft, who are both developing their own autonomous vehicle technology with the hope of someday making driverless cars part of their business.
He added that the camera is not in use right now."Only external cameras are being used right now, so internal is not enabled. When it is enabled, we'll add a setting to disable internal camera," he said on Twitter.
