The integration of software-defined approaches with software-defined battery
electric vehicles brings forth challenges related to privacy regulations, such
as European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and Data Act, as well as
the California Consumer Privacy Act. Compliance with these regulations poses
barriers for foreign brands and startups seeking entry into these markets. Car
manufacturers and suppliers, particularly software suppliers, must navigate
complex privacy requirements when introducing vehicles to these regions.
Privacy for Software-defined Battery Electric Vehicles aims to
educate practitioners across different market regions and fields. It seeks to
stimulate discussions for improvements in processes and requirements related to
privacy aspects regarding these vehicles. The report covers the significance of
privacy, potential vulnerabilities and risks, technical challenges, safety
risks, management and operational challenges, and the benefits of compliance
with privacy standards within the software-defined battery electric vehicle
realm.
