Connected and automated vehicles are fast becoming an integral part of Europe\u2019s data economy. Earlier this month, ACEA teamed up with the Kangaroo Group think tank to hold a timely debate on this topic, ahead of the European Commission\u2019s proposal for legislation on access to in-vehicle data later this year.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\n

Europe\u2019s automobile industry is committed to giving access to the data generated by its vehicles. However, as pointed out by Mark Harvey, Director of Enterprise Connectivity at Ford of Europe, uncontrolled access to in-vehicle data poses major safety, cybersecurity, security, data protection and privacy threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA connected car is not a smartphone on wheels,\u201d Mr Harvey warned, stressing that car manufacturers remain responsible for the safety, security and integrity of the vehicles they produce. \u201cIt is critical to us that data sharing is conducted in a safe, secure and fair manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t

This can be achieved thanks to the \u2018Extended Vehicle\u2019 model for off-board data sharing, explained Harvey. This model can use neutral servers<\/a> to ensure that all players have access to the same input at the same time, allowing them to compete on equal footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commission\u2019s view was also captured during this online event. \u201c<\/em>We need to make sure that we regulate only where it is necessary, with future-proof legislation,\u201d explained Kerstin Jorna of DG GROW. \u201cThis is key to ensure quality data, consumer trust and consumer benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t

Henna Virkkunen, Member of the European Parliament, raised the importance of technology neutrality in this field. \u201cCooperative, connected, and automated mobility will facilitate smoother, more efficient, greener and safer transport,\u201d she said. \u201cBut this will only be possible by allowing the industry and innovators to find the best way instead of legislators picking the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
