[EFF Article] The Impending Privacy Threat of Self-Driving Cars (www.eff.org)

submitted 1 year ago by Raisin8659@monyet.cc to c/technology@lemmy.world

Summary:

Self-driving cars collect a massive amount of data, including visual and other information.
This data could be used to track people's movements, which could pose a threat to privacy.
There is a lot of uncertainty about how this data is stored, secured, and accessed.
Law enforcement agencies have already served warrants to self-driving car companies for footage.
It is important to have strong privacy laws that address the data collected by self-driving cars.
We need to know more about how much footage police request and how companies respond to these requests.
Regulators need to consider the civil liberties implications of self-driving car data collection.

I try to ever forget that under the GDPR scope andanu other privacy legislations, CCPA included, location data (GPS obtained) = Personal Data. The only exception lies only when this data can be disaggregated from any other informations that could link to locate a subject, therefore it wouldn't be personal but simple data, or if it is fully anonymised. That also raises the obligation to obtain a valid consent and inform the data subject. Maybe it's better to stick to a non connected to the Internet car... Call me old schooled :S

Thanks for the discussion. The EFF article also raises the issue of privacy for people around the car that is collecting vast amounts of information, which EFF proposes that it should be regulated to ensure privacy.
