Key points

• Autonomous (transport) vehicles have evolved from science fiction into a feature of reality (in) which we now live.
• From a data protection standpoint, one of the challenges confronting the integration of autonomous vehicles into the society is the question of whether or not this disruptive technology is capable of being compliant with the principles of data protection law.
• The importance of focusing on the principles of data protection law lies in the fact that these principles encompass the entire body of data protection law. Failure to achieve compliance with said principles automatically amounts to a failure to comply with data protection law.
• With a focus on the European Union and the European Economic Area, this article seeks to identify the extent to which the extant data protection laws are capable of protecting the right to data protection of data subjects in the use of autonomous vehicles while also making recommendations on how compliance can be best achieved.

自主运输工具与数据保护法原则：兼容性真的是不可能的吗？

关键点

• 自主（运输）车辆已经从科幻小说演变成我们现在生活的现实特征。
• 从数据保护的角度来看，无人驾驶汽车融入社会面临的挑战之一是该破坏性技术是否能够符合数据保护法原则的问题。
• 关注数据保护法原则的重要性在于，这些原则涵盖了整个数据保护法。不遵守上述原则将自动等于未遵守数据保护法。
• 本文着眼于欧盟和欧洲经济区，力图确定现有的数据保护法在多大程度上能够保护使用自动驾驶汽车的数据主体的数据保护权，同时就以下方面提出建议：如何最好地实现合规性。
