But consent here is a bit tricky. Basically, if the driver decides to turn on the recording feature, they are not obligated to warn the passenger and vice versa.

The concept of Iterative Model in a Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
The iterative model implemented in any Software Development Life Cycle is all about an initial, simplified implementation which may or may not gain more complexity in future. Furthermore, it is can even be called as a broader feature set until and unless the final system is accomplished.
