Connected vehicle data: GM settles disputes, Ford promises transparency
In the United States, General Motors has agreed to pay $220 million to settle a dispute over data and $2.9 million to Hawaii drivers for the unauthorized collection and sale of personal data. Ford responded by launching a 'Privacy Promise' and a website allowing owners to opt out of data collection, following GM's agreement. On the eve of the midterm elections, the vote could change US policy in favor of electric vehicles. These facts recall compliance requirements for connected vehicle data, including for Chinese manufacturers according to a sub-event. The provided sub-events all concern the United States; coverage of the issue extends to China and Brazil, without the provided elements detailing national differences.
