Connected Cars and other Web-Connected Devices: How Will Your Data Be Protected?
The FCBA Privacy and Data Security Committee will hold a CLE on Monday, January 26 from 6:00 – 8:15 p.m. entitled Connected Cars and other Web-Connected Devices: How Will Your Data Be Protected? This program will be held at Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, 1500 K Street, NW.
This CLE will examine the emerging technology of connected cars, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, and intelligent personal assistants (IPAs) used to manage home automation systems.
AGENDA
6:00 – 6:05 p.m. Welcome and Introductions
6:05 – 7:05 p.m. New “Connected Car” Technologies and Services: Will Your Vehicle-Generated Data Be Secure?
The first panel will include industry privacy experts and a privacy regulator who will explore how growing automobile connectivity that is and will be generating new data streams and information is raising privacy concerns. These concerns include possible tracking of geolocation data, use of driving habits to price insurance premiums without drivers' consent, the vulnerability of Internet-connected cars to hacking, and third party access to V2V communications data. With V2V communications mandated for new vehicles manufactured for the 2017 model year and with the NHTSA preparing a Privacy Impact Statement, auto manufacturers are already moving forward proactively to address the security of vehicle-generated data. In November, 2014, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and the Association of Global Automakers released a set of new commitments to Consumer Privacy Protection Principles for Vehicle Technologies and Services to protect personal information collected through in-car technologies to be effective for existing vehicle technologies and service subscriptions begun or renewed as of January, 2016. This panel will examine these Principles, what vehicle-generated data they will protect, and how effective the protections are likely to be.

The second panel of the CLE will explore the information collection capabilities of IPAs and the associated developing privacy concerns. The panelists will discuss IPA technologies, what information is collected, and how they are integrated into the Internet of Things ecosystem. They will also explore the specific privacy and security policy issues related to these connected devices.
