Study finds carmakers sharing driver data widely
Original: Your car’s data privacy problems are worse than you think
A new study reported by The Verge has found that nearly every major automaker is transmitting vehicle data to third-party companies, including firms specializing in advertising and tracking. The findings suggest that cars are collecting and sharing far more personal information than many drivers realize, covering location, behavior and other telematics data. The report has prompted renewed concern about how weakly regulated connected-car data practices are across the auto industry.
Why now: Fresh research showing automakers broadly share driver data with advertisers and trackers has reignited privacy concerns.
