As automotive data increase in scale and value, it is important to understand who owns and has the ability to access information generated by connected vehicles. The plummeting costs of sensing, connectivity, and storage mean that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), their suppliers, and end users have access to more realtime data than ever [1]. Data collection is complicated by the public?s perception that data are kept locally to the vehicle, as opposed to being sent to the connected car service. We have seen in other industries how confusion about terms of service can lead to large and potentially harmful misunderstanding. This article explores the complexi ties of automotive data ownership, privacy, accessibility, and stewardship by comparing and contrasting automotive terms of service ("Terms"), agreements critical to an emerging US11.6−11.6-92.6 billion market, from multiple stakeholders? perspectives [2]. In the comparison, we aim to highlight the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities that may prevent connected-vehicle services from suffering the same pitfalls as related industries. Our discussion is highlighted in a matrix comparing and contrasting information ownership, access, and control Terms for customers, OEMs, their subsidiaries, partners, affiliates in the U.S. market, and regulatory agencies. The results are useful for service designers, end users, and regulators to evaluate Terms for differing and often competing interests and constraints.

驾驶数据传播：管理联网汽车信息的“术语”


随着汽车数据规模和价值的增加，了解谁拥有并有能力访问联网车辆生成的信息非常重要。传感、连接和存储成本的直线下降意味着原始设备制造商 (OEM)、其供应商和最终用户可以访问比以往更多的实时数据 [1]。公众认为数据保存在车辆本地，而不是发送到联网汽车服务，因此数据收集变得复杂。我们在其他行业已经看到，服务条款的混乱会如何导致巨大且可能有害的误解。本文通过比较和对比来自多个利益相关者的汽车服务条款（“条款”）以及对新兴的 US11.6−11.6-926 亿市场至关重要的协议，探讨了汽车数据所有权、隐私、可访问性和管理的复杂性？的观点[2]。在比较中，我们的目的是强调可以防止联网车辆服务遭受与相关行业相同陷阱的优势、劣势和机遇。我们的讨论以矩阵形式突出显示，比较和对比客户、原始设备制造商、其子公司、合作伙伴、美国市场附属公司和监管机构的信息所有权、访问和控制条款。结果对于服务设计者、最终用户和监管机构评估不同且经常相互竞争的利益和约束的条款很有用。
