Ford's new data promise puts customer privacy in the driver's seat
Ford is putting customer privacy in the driver's seat with an explicit commitment that vehicle data stays safe. That's the kind of promise users deserve, especially as automakers navigate growing scrutiny around consent. If you're wondering how data slips through the cracks, our piece on "The Four Data Flaws That Slip Past Every Validation Check" offers a deeper look. Trust isn't built on vague assurances, it's earned through clear, verifiable action.
GM must now ask permission before collecting driver location data in $220M settlement
General Motors must now ask for explicit permission before collecting or sharing driver location data, a requirement born from a $220 million settlement. That's a meaningful shift for privacy. The settlement suggests regulators are paying closer attention to how automakers handle sensitive data. For context, Bank of America recently warned that AI users own the risk when sharing passwords. Both stories underscore a growing expectation: consent matters, whether you're behind the wheel or using an AI agent.
