Thank you for the clarification!

I wish, Renault and/or the salesperson would communicate clearly about the camera. It's way creepier when there is just a camera looking at you without having the context of it being required and which privacy requirements it has per law.

Interestingly, if I disable the function and then cover the camera, a warning still appears. I don't know if that's due to a weird implementation by Renault or a thing implied by the law

Yes, the infotainment system even shows is as being constantly used, which I could disable by going through the android app list (infotainment is based on android) and disabling the built-in AI assistant

Whoops, german writing instincts strike again 🥸

I only tried to cover it for a short time, as my parents are really opposed to the idea of covering it. Maybe I'll design and 3d print a removable cover. I think the laptop camera argument was a little short-sighted; I also pointed that out to them 😅

Oh, I just thought, that it just doesn't do "fast charging". Thank you for the heads-up!

Thank you for the excellent response!

Haha, great idea

The car complains, when I do that. Maybe there is some way around that, but I haven't found one

Thank you for the context! Interestingly, I can disable the system in settings, so Renault should be able to let me cover it or provide a cover

Thank you, I'll look into that :)

YES! If you don't need much range, maybe look the Renault Zoe from 2012. As its older it doesn't seem to have that much tech in it.
