What happened and what to do

In an article published on September 30, 2026, The Record reports that a study found automakers routinely sharing personal data from connected cars with third parties. The article says drivers are exposed to a wide network of companies in the advertising ecosystem.

A company that collects or receives vehicle data can map what information flows, who accesses it, and for what purposes. It can also implement consent and retention controls, monitor data flows, and alert on sharing that violates internal rules. The focus is data governance and security, not necessarily AI.

How the consultancy can help
