Abstract
Captured PII is identified in sensor data, the sensor data being captured over time by a sensor of a vehicle of an environment surrounding the vehicle. The sensor data includes captured PII and non-PII. A notice zone surrounding the vehicle is identified, the notice zone defining an area in which a notice device of the vehicle provides notice to pedestrians that the sensor data is being captured. Any instances of the captured PII in the sensor data are obscured that are captured from the pedestrians that, over the time of the capture, did not enter the notice zone and receive the notice. The sensor data, as processed, is sent to a cloud server for storage.
