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。

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.

  • 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.
