California's Privacy Regulator to Review Data Collection on Smart Autos

California’s new privacy regulator said it is embarking on its first-ever enforcement action: a review of the privacy practices of connected automobiles. The California Privacy Protection Agency — created under a ballot initiative in 2020 and the only regulator in the nation solely dedicated to privacy issues — will examine the growing amalgamation of data collected by smart vehicles and whether the business practices of the companies collecting that data comply with state law.
