Data collected by Tesla on the driver and vehicle in the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion and then shared with law enforcement has shined a spotlight on a difficult ethical question for the auto industry: Are companies violating your privacy rights? Many cars now not only know where you’ve been, they have access to your contacts, your call logs, your texts and other sensitive information. Privacy experts say the benefits for catching criminals is obvious, but not so clear is where to draw the line. Some are calling for federal law to protect consumer data.
Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit that accused the company of turning its virtual assistant Siri into a snoop that eavesdropped on the users of iPhones and other trendy devices in a betrayal to its long-standing commitment to personal privacy. The proposed settlement filed in federal court earlier this week still needs to be approved by a judge, but case raised some important privacy issues and may make it possible to be paid up to $20 per device equipped with Siri from September 17, 2014 through the end of last year.
