How Safe Is Your Data in Connected and Autonomous Cars: A Consumer Advantage or a Privacy Nightmare ?
🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the privacy and security risks—such as data leakage, misuse, and insufficient regulatory oversight—that accompany the deployment of connected and autonomous vehicles despite their benefits in enhancing user experience. It systematically examines the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication architecture, data-sharing mechanisms, and associated application scenarios, offering the first comprehensive review of the attendant privacy and security challenges. By integrating privacy risk assessment with policy compliance analysis, the work reveals critical gaps in current data governance frameworks. The study proposes a balanced governance approach that reconciles technological innovation with the protection of user rights, advocating for transparent, ethically grounded, and enforceable data management policies to inform both theoretical development and practical implementation in intelligent connected vehicle data governance.

📝 Abstract
The rapid evolution of the automobile sector, driven by advancements in connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), has transformed how vehicles communicate, operate, and interact with their surroundings. Technologies such as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication enable autonomous cars to generate and exchange substantial amounts of data with real-world entities, enhancing safety, improving performance, and delivering personalized user experiences. However, this data-driven ecosystem introduces significant challenges, particularly concerning data privacy, security, and governance. The absence of transparency and comprehensive regulatory frameworks exacerbates issues of unauthorized data access, prolonged retention, and potential misuse, creating tension between consumer benefits and privacy risks. This review paper explores the multifaceted nature of data sharing in CAVs, analyzing its contributions to innovation and its associated vulnerabilities. It evaluates data-sharing mechanisms and communication technologies, highlights the benefits of data exchange across various use cases, examines privacy concerns and risks of data misuse, and critically reviews regulatory frameworks and their inadequacies in safeguarding user privacy. By providing a thorough analysis of the current state of data sharing in the automotive sector, the paper emphasizes the urgent need for robust policies and ethical data management practices. It calls for striking a balance between fostering technological advancements and ensuring secure, consumer-friendly solutions, paving the way for a trustworthy and innovative automotive future.
