Recent developments highlight concerns over data collection by vehicles. Devices such as mobile phones and fitness trackers are known to collect user data, but now attention is turning to cars. A new surveillance technology can scan cars for signals from various devices including phones, watches, pet tracker chips, and even library books to create a 'fingerprint' of the driver. At least one U.S. agency is currently testing this technology. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has also taken action, with three enforcement actions and a ruling related to location data, cybersecurity, and privacy. The FTC's blog discusses the unlawful collection and use of consumer data by cars.
