Study finds nearly all major car brands share driver data

Original: Nearly all 19 car brands send driver data to third parties (Northeastern/CR)

A joint study by Northeastern University and Consumer Reports found that 18 of 19 major car brands collect driver data and share it with third parties. The findings cover what vehicles gather about driving behavior and where that information goes, renewing debate over privacy in connected cars and how little control owners have over their data.

Why now: Drivers are alarmed by the scale of data collection and sharing happening without their explicit knowledge or consent.
