A Privacy Playbook for Connected Car Data WHITE PAPER WITH FOREWORD BY Connected cars: Ushering in a new era of  transportation Today’s connected cars are becoming computers on wheels, generating d ata ranging from  ambient air temperature and battery level to hard-braking events and roa d sign images,  and a growing suite of services are further enhancing safety and conveni ence on the road.  Experts predict that the transportation sector will change more in the n ext five years than in  the previous 50 years, and we are just beginning to realize the profound  impact that con- nected car data could have on drivers and society.   Hundreds of use cases are now emerging around connected car data:  Aggregate data is being used for trafc flow optimization, mapping and planning, r oad  hazard identification, congestion management, predictive maintenance,  location intelli- gence, and media measurement. Data from individual cars is being shared by drivers for services delivering roadside  assistance, electric vehicle charging services, subscription-based fueli ng, usage-based  insurance, remote diagnostics, trunk delivery by retailers, and parking  payments. In the future, we will see: Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, through which vehicles could signal their intent  to each other, such as notifying several cars behind them of an unexpect ed hard-braking  incident or electronically signaling a left turn. Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) use cases, such as a vehicle reserving a parking space  and parking itself or triggering a trafc light. These applications, as well as other applications, services, and crowdso urced insights, will  make driving safer, more convenient, and more rewarding. In addition to  providing benefits to  individual drivers, they promise significant societal benefits, such  as reducing congestion and  […]
