Fwd: Automotive Privacy Principles Community Group Launched

We will be wrapping up the W3C Automotive Working Group, hopefully bringing
VISS version 2 to Recommendation in the coming months. VISS will continue
at COVESA (yet to be kicked off), especially as it is a central point in
COVESA/AutoSAR collaboration. The ontology/data modeling work will also
continue at COVESA and hopefully with members of the W3C community.

One of the last things we have been working on in VISS is to include the
concept of being able to support external consent management frameworks.
Although some auto manufacturers have partially addressed consent, it tends
to be limited to their proprietary platforms. Properly handling consent and
privacy in a broader ecosystem would be a major enabler for the multitude
of industries seeking to provide services to vehicle owners.

We are launching the W3C Automotive Privacy Principles Community Group.
Membership in W3C or COVESA is not required, anyone is welcome to
participate.

The thinking is having a theoretical, principled effort at W3C and a
practical, proof of concept effort at COVESA would compliment one another
well. COVESA, formerly GENIVI, and W3C have a long track record of
collaborating around automotive with the former well established with the
auto industry (OEM, suppliers, solution providers) and the latter the Web
community and big tech.

Please consider joining this group or forwarding to colleagues or
acquaintances who may be interested.

Vehicles are becoming increasingly connected, enabling rich data and
useful services. A major obstacle to transportation's information
transformation is better protection of personal privacy. The Mozilla
Foundation properly called in out in their assessment  It’s Official:
Cars Are the Worst Product Category We Have Ever Reviewed for Privacy .
The goal of this Community Group is to create guiding principles
specific to the automotive industry and to work in conjunction with
COVESA  in prototyping and promoting appropriate solutions.
