Jeewon Serrato looks at how the Federal Automated Vehicles
Policy provides a framework for thinking about data privacy in
connected cars and the challenges of regulation and jurisdiction in
a global privacy context.
Thinking Through the Federal Automated Vehicles
Policy
One of the biggest challenges in implementing the seven privacy
principles noted in the FAVP is closely coordinating all members of
the connected cars ecosystem – from the original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) to the suppliers and third parties – so
that privacy and security systems will be embedded from the
beginning of the design process.
The Challenges of Regulation and Jurisdiction in a Global
Privacy Framework
With the EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) coming
into effect in 2018, manufacturers and suppliers in the connected
cars ecosystem – both within Europe and in other countries
who could be handling European data – need to consider how
they will comply with the jurisdictional overlap and varying
requirements of data protection regulations around the
world.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
