汽车就是装在轮子上的智能手机。现在听你说话的是谁?

首项大规模研究考察了联网汽车生态系统中的隐私问题。互联网汽车会与制造商、广告商、保险公司及其他第三方通信。研究人员与《消费者报告》合作,测试了21款较新车型和30款配套移动应用。结果发现,21辆车中有19辆会向至少一个第三方发送数据,7款应用会向外部公司传输敏感标识符。该研究凸显了消费者对这类数据共享活动的了解有限,并强调有必要持续开展监测、加强监管以及提供更清晰的隐私保护。

Hacker News 上一则讨论回应了一项研究:大多数现代联网汽车会与制造商和第三方共享浏览、位置及车辆数据。评论者质疑该研究的方法:研究只检查了有限数量车辆所访问的域名,而非实际传输的网络流量内容;并且没有提供可按车型或年份搜索的数据库。 许多人反对强制注册账户、薄弱的选择退出机制、依赖在线导航、出售数据、保险监测、远程服务上传数据,以及劫持软件控制程度越来越高的车辆的可能性。车主反映,不同车辆的隐私设置不一致,而且在不破坏导航或其他功能的情况下,很难通过物理方式切断联网功能。 有些人建议使用较旧的车辆、离线导航、自托管系统或硬件断网开关。另一些人则认为,断开联网的控制方式和厂商专有的维修做法会带来额外的安全与所有权问题。该讨论还探讨了人们支持监控的原因,例如对犯罪的恐惧、对机构的信任、便利性或政治认同,并警告说,广泛的数据收集会不成比例地增强政府、企业、保险公司和执法机构的权力。

The first large-scale measurement study of the connected-vehicle ecosystem.

A connected car is a vehicle with built-in internet access — Wi-Fi, cellular, GPS — that lets it communicate constantly with its manufacturer and outside companies. Over 75% of vehicles sold globally have this connectity built-in.

A connected vehicle

It knows where you drive.

It knows who you are.

It can share this data and more with insurance companies, advertisers, etc...

Report Summary

Partnering with Consumer Reports, we tested 21 late model vehicles and 30 companion mobile apps to understand the privacy implications of the connected vehicle ecosystem.


  • 01We find that both vehicles and companion apps contact numerous third-party domains, including advertisers and trackers.
  • 0219/21 vehicles tested send traffic to at least one third party
  • 03Seven of 30 apps transmit sensitive identifiers to third-party companies

We go through a lengthy disclosure process and provide insight into how manufacturer's perceive this data sharing issue.
Our findings underscore the need for continued measurement and scrutiny of the connected vehicle ecosystem.
