First, I never heard of CCPA before this post. Wiki tells me: <<The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a state statute intended to enhance privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of the state of California>>
Reading that Wiki page also taught me about the follow-up act passed by ballot prop: <<The California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA)... The CPRA took effect on January 1, 2023, applying to personal data collected on or after January 1, 2022. The law cannot be repealed by state legislature, and any amendments made must be “consistent with and further the purpose and intent” of the Act.>>. (Wow... pretty strong!)
I like your idea. I think it would be a worthy experience for someone on HN to contact Waymo after taking some rides and ask about videos taken during their ride. Do they have a system to request removal? Also: What are their rights under CCPA?
> Can I remove my data from Waymo’s system?

Finally, here is a help page from Waymo about the issue: https://support.google.com/waymo/answer/9190819?hl=en
