Of course the camera doesn't track people, it's just a sensor. It's the computer system behind the camera that tracks people. Do they think we're idiots?

They've literally come out and said they can infer with a great deal of certainty who is driving a specific car. The cameras have built in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. They could be using those to fingerprint your phone.
