Case Summary

Plaintiff Peter Platt filed a class action lawsuit against Tesla alleging violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). The complaint alleges that Tesla collects biometric facial data from drivers using in-cabin cameras without obtaining required consent and failing to establish a data retention policy, in violation of BIPA. Specifically, Tesla uses facial recognition and tracking to monitor driver attentiveness when its Autopilot and Full Self Driving systems are engaged, but has not complied with BIPA's requirements for collecting, storing, and using individuals' biometric identifiers. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief requiring Tesla to comply with BIPA as well as statutory damages for class members.
