    Connected-car data raises new #privacy concerns

    Fix recounted that her concerns about connected vehicles grew after a personal software update on her #Ford #BroncoRaptor seemed to restore data-sharing permissions she had disabled. The vehicle briefly indicated that permissions were enabled, prompting her to review and revert the settings. She then emphasized the issue’s broader scope beyond Ford, noting that it is tied to automakers’ software and connected-vehicle systems rather than dealer-controlled.

    The issue also poses a potential customer-communication challenge regarding connected services, Bluetooth, and vehicle software. Fix said that while consumers may believe they have opted out of data collection, information can still be transmitted when they connect smartphones or use other vehicle-connected features. She argued that consumers need clearer disclosures and a reliable way to opt out.
