This law requires car manufacturers to disclose if a new vehicle model has built-in cameras. If cameras are a standard feature, this must be mentioned in the owner's manual. If they're not standard, the dealer must be informed through documents like the vehicle specification sheet. Dealers must not sell or lease such vehicles without clearly telling buyers about the cameras. They must provide a separate document acknowledging the presence of cameras, requiring the buyer's signature to confirm they've been informed. Buyers have the right to see documentation about these cameras before purchasing, and signing the disclosure form does not mean they agree to any use of the footage. Dealers aren't liable for disclosure failures if the manufacturer's documentation is at fault.

This California law outlines rules for handling images or videos from in-vehicle cameras. It prohibits using, selling, or sharing recordings unless specific conditions are met, like getting user consent. Even if shared, the use is restricted to the consented purpose and must be brief. Users can revoke consent easily, and companies must honor this by deleting data quickly. The law also prevents discrimination against users exercising these rights. Exceptions to these limitations include legal requests or safety needs. Special rules apply if imagery is linked to emergency responses or investigations. Lastly, compliance with privacy laws remains mandatory.

This law states that you can't force a car camera maker or operator to include certain features just so the police or investigators can spy on what you're saying in the car.

This law section defines key terms related to the privacy and consent required for sharing or retaining recordings from in-vehicle cameras. It explains that "affirmative prior consent" means a user must clearly agree to share or keep these recordings, which can be done through specific ways like signing a form or confirming on a screen in the car. The consent must be clear, and users shouldn't be tricked into giving it by confusing or misleading methods. These terms apply to people who buy or lease vehicles with in-vehicle cameras, and the manufacturers or dealers involved in these transactions.

This law says that any penalties or remedies outlined in this chapter can be used in addition to those available under other state laws. In other words, if someone breaks a rule here, they might face multiple consequences from different legal sources.

This section ensures that consumer rights and business obligations relating to privacy are not diminished by this chapter. If there's a clash with other state laws, the law that best protects consumer privacy will prevail. Also, these consumer rights and business obligations won't apply if they interfere with noncommercial activities protected by the California Constitution.

This law section explains two key points: First, it says that this chapter doesn't apply to cameras installed in commercial vehicles like buses, motortrucks, and truck tractors. Second, it clarifies that you can't sell or use images or videos of commercial drivers for advertising without their permission.
