ABSTRACT
Technology is rapidly advancing and along with these advancements come major privacy concerns for drivers. This is especially true for modern day connected cars equipped with infotainment and telematics systems that can collect substantial amounts of sensitive information. This paper provides an overview of how personal information flows through typical infotainment and telematics systems, identifies potential privacy implications for drivers and provides recommendations for reform moving forward.
