Abstract
Automobile manufacturers produce connected vehicles with improved hardware and software capabilities each year. The vehicles offer safety and convenience features for drivers and passengers, like predictive navigation and text-to-voice capabilities. Collecting user data enables the provision of many of these features. This data includes vehicle telemetry, geolocation, mobile device information, and driver behavior metrics. While gathering this data from drivers enables futuristic and convenient features, it also presents privacy risks. The extent of this data collection is unclear to many drivers, and many may not know that their data is being collected to begin with. These drivers may also be unaware that manufacturers and third parties could use this data.
