Automotive Data Frontiers: The Implications of Biometric Data in the Vehicle
This topic will:
- Define the scope of biometric data and the regulatory frameworks that apply in the US and internationally
- Address regulatory directives for security and privacy with the collection, storage, and use of biometric data
Biometric data includes physical or behavioral human characteristics that can be used to digitally identify a person to grant access to systems, devices, or data. In terms of biotechnology in the car, researchers proclaim “give me 10 biometric sensors in the car and I’ll revolutionize healthcare.” But collecting this data comes with a price: enhanced security and privacy protections and regulations. This discussion will look at how global and local legal and regulatory frameworks impact the design, collection, and use of this potential treasure trove of data.
