《消费者报告》及其合作伙伴审视了联网汽车的隐私影响。这些汽车通过 Wi-Fi、蜂窝网络和 GPS 收集并分享位置、身份及驾驶数据。他们测试了 21 款较新型号的汽车和 30 款配套移动应用,发现 19 款汽车至少与一家第三方进行了通信,7 款应用向外部公司传输了敏感标识信息。车辆系统和应用经常联系广告商及数据追踪机构。研究人员审阅了制造商的披露内容和相关观点后,强调需要提高透明度、开展独立测试,并持续审查联网汽车的数据处理 practices。

一则 Hacker News 讨论探讨了日益互联的汽车所带来的隐私风险,这类汽车被称为“装在轮子上的智能手机”。评论者质疑,特斯拉的隐私设置是否能减少数据收集,并指出该研究似乎并未对此进行测试。有人赞扬本田阻止了精确地理定位数据被发送给第三方。 一些车主会关闭联网模块,甚至拔掉保险丝,以避免被追踪;另一些人则普遍不信任联网设备,担心汽车遭到黑客攻击后会成为武器。多位评论者批评汽车行业把责任推给消费者,而消费者往往没有切实可行的替代选择。有人建议采用名为 Slate 的开放车辆平台,并呼吁推出更“笨”的汽车,同时允许用户自主定制软件和硬件。还有一位评论者严厉批评了链接中的东北大学网站的设计。

The first large-scale measurement study of the connected-vehicle ecosystem.

A connected car is a vehicle with built-in internet access — Wi-Fi, cellular, GPS — that lets it communicate constantly with its manufacturer and outside companies. Over 75% of vehicles sold globally have this connectity built-in.

A connected vehicle

It knows where you drive.

It knows who you are.

It can share this data and more with insurance companies, advertisers, etc...

Report Summary

Partnering with Consumer Reports, we tested 21 late model vehicles and 30 companion mobile apps to understand the privacy implications of the connected vehicle ecosystem.


  • 01We find that both vehicles and companion apps contact numerous third-party domains, including advertisers and trackers.
  • 0219/21 vehicles tested send traffic to at least one third party
  • 03Seven of 30 apps transmit sensitive identifiers to third-party companies

We go through a lengthy discolure process and provide insight into how manufacturer's perceive this data sharing issue.
Our findings underscore the need for continued measurement and scrutiny of the connected vehicle ecosystem.
