VW is planning to put cameras and sensors on new cars sold after 2018 to aid self-driving vehicles, create better maps, and more.
Ford announced concept vehicles back in 2010 that could Tweet while they drove.
Pretty sure I don’t like this move on the part of VW – technologically, it’s super cool. But from a privacy standpoint … not so much.
Hopefully by then there will be clear disclosures about exactly what data is being collected, how it’s anonymized, how long it’s stored, used, etc.
You’d like to hope so – I would, too.
But I doubt there will be 😐
