Personal Vehicle Driver Assistance, Engagement & Privacy
When I write about vehicles, I mostly write about electric vehicles (EVs), mainly because these are closely tied to the future of the electric utility sector, and the future of driving. The latter assumption is because EVs only emit greenhouse gasses (GHG) through any of these gases that are produced while generating the electricity used to charge them.
However, although this article about vehicles is not specific to EVs, electric vehicles (mostly Teslas) pioneered connected, data-intensive vehicles. The main feature this technology adds to vehicles is that most upgrades and many repairs can be done over-the-air, and thus not require a dealer visit.
However the connected, data-centric vehicle does have its down-sides. I will cover these in this paper.
