Anonymized images?

What is the purpose of such a voluntary-based feature? "This update will allow you to activate the integrated cabin camera above the mirror," says the manufacturer. If enabled, Tesla will automatically record images and a short video clip just before a crash to help engineers develop functionality and improvements in the future. "

Tesla adds that all of the images collected via this feature are completely anonymous and will never be correlated to the serial number of the car. This update also adds other features, such as an improvement to the rear view camera or the Walk Away function, which allows the doors to be locked automatically when the driver leaves the vehicle.
