    I’ve heard people debating the feaseability of either removing the camera cluster aboard these cars and remove or disable the wifi module.

      Yes, that should be done in order to pass national certification and thus before allowing importation. Having cameras is fine when used in a closed loop, streaming data away from the car though, that’s different.

        If overall visibility was improved, the argument for onboard cameras would be half dead. If the concern is clearance for objects, apply proximity sensors, by owner request and option and preferably by aftermarket kits.

        Telemetry can burn in a trash can.
