Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) collate a significant amount of data to ensure vehicle safety, requiring an always-on internet connection and hundreds of sensors.
An entire industry has been developed around monitoring, logging, analyzing and monetizing it. Yet, the danger is, particularly with increasing cyber-attacks, that this data could end up being leaked and stolen.
With safety being paramount, and with the threat that hackers could take over a connected and autonomous vehicle, there is increasingly a need to ensure that smart car data leakages. Cassandra Moons, data protection officer at TomTom explains why CAVs are a ticking data privacy timebomb by first of all suggesting that connectivity in cars has evolved in ways that reflect how people live their lives today. So, not long ago the idea of always being connected was just a prediction of the future but nowadays being “always-on” is an increasing reality for many people. It’s becoming the norm.
