  • Ian Barlow, Sara Baxenberg and Josh Turner of Wiley discuss government efforts in 2024 to address data privacy and security concerns involving connected cars, and likely government action in 2025.

The article from Reuters discusses the evolving landscape of connected vehicle policy as of March 12, 2025. It highlights the increasing integration of vehicles with digital technologies, leading to significant policy considerations around data privacy, cybersecurity, and safety. Governments and regulatory bodies are grappling with how to manage the vast amounts of data generated by these vehicles, which include location tracking, driver behavior, and vehicle diagnostics. There's a push towards establishing international standards for data sharing, cybersecurity protocols, and ensuring that these vehicles do not become vectors for cyber-attacks. Additionally, the article touches on the debate over data ownership, with manufacturers, tech companies, and consumers all having stakes in who controls the data. The European Union, for instance, is considering regulations that would give drivers more control over their data, while in the U.S., there's a focus on balancing innovation with consumer protection. The piece also notes the potential for connected vehicles to enhance road safety through features like automatic crash notifications and real-time traffic management, but underscores the need for robust policy frameworks to address these complex issues.
