Musk Says Tesla Would Be Shut Down If Cars Used for Spying

(Bloomberg) — Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk used an opportunity to speak to an audience in China to strenuously deny the electric carmaker would ever use a vehicle’s technology for spying.

Appearing on Saturday at the China Development Forum, a conference organized by a unit of the country’s State Council, in a session titled “The Next Disruptive Innovation?” Musk said that if Tesla ever used its cars to spy in China, or anywhere, the company would get “shut down everywhere.”
