Most Americans Favor Data Privacy over Road Security
An overwhelming majority — 80 percent — of Americans surveyed say they do not trust how automakers handle their personal data, according to a recent survey by The Zebra.
In older vehicles, data collection is conducted via smartphone, which can monitor your location and other activities. Newer cars record information, including the weight of the people in the front seats, whether the driver’s hands are on the wheel and even the driver’s eye movements, which could help improve the safety of future cars.
