Study Finds 19 of 21 New Cars Shared Driver Data
Original: 19 Out of 21 Late-Model Cars Tested Shared Data with 3rd Parties
A new privacy study examined 21 late-model vehicles and found that 19 of them shared personal data with third parties, according to Road & Track. The findings add to growing concern about connected cars collecting information on drivers' location, habits and behavior. Commenters are questioning what data is transmitted, to whom, and whether owners can opt out at all.
Why now: Vehicle data privacy is a rising concern as connected cars increasingly collect and transmit personal information without clear owner consent.
