Modern cars contain a lot of information about you.
|
|
Location, speed, driving patterns, and more.
|
|
There are few actual resources on what these privacy invasions are, and what you can do about them.
|
|
|
|
The term "car" is used to describe automobiles such as sedans, SUV's, trucks, tudors, unless otherwise specified.

### __Introduction__
|
|
|
|
Most modern cars contain an EDR, Electronic Data Recorder.
|
|
This device is also commonly known as a "black box".
|
|
This device contains detailed information such as vehicle speed, detailed engine information along with the vehicles occupancy status.
|
|
|
|
This device is able to be read via a simple USB dongle.
|
|
The EDR is able to use the on-board pressure sensors embedded in the driver and passenger seats to have information such as how many passengers were in the vehicle, along with the status of seat belts.
|
|
|
|
While this is used for safety purposes, it is an extreme privacy invasion.
|
|
This page is not to describe on why you might want to care about privacy, but rather an overview on the privacy concern of modern cars.
|
|
|
|
Most modern cars include "smart features", such as an embedded display usually running a version of Android.
|
|
These devices will be referred to as a "smart screen".
|
|
The smart screen has the ability to connect to the internet along with providing apps such as Spotify, and some sort of GPS / navigational system.
|
|
|
|
A concern of these devices is the lack of security consideration.
|
|
These devices have access to extremely sensitive information such as location and potentially account information granted that an account is signed in.
|
|
Often times, these devices to not receive proper security patches or even updates to the OS in general.

### __Security__
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, with the rapid adoption of technology, cars are vulnerable to various types of attacks.
|
|
Certain types of attacks include spoofing the radio signal from a key Fob and utilizing vulnerabilities found in 3rd-party applications.
