My Take:

INDIA IS THE MARKET……11/06/2014

"Reflecting on the dynamic growth of India's economy and its vast consumer market, it becomes evident that the concerns over data privacy in the connected car industry are not isolated.

The surge in disposable income and the rapid expansion of the middle class in India present a lucrative target for companies looking to capitalize on consumer data.

As highlighted in my previous blog from 2014, the potential for growth in emerging markets like India comes with responsibilities to safeguard user data and privacy, a principle that should extend to all sectors, including the automotive industry."


KEEP GOING……28/10/2015

"In the journey towards a more connected world, where data plays a central role in shaping consumer experiences, the need for relentless progress in data protection measures is paramount.

Just as we celebrate advancements in ease of doing business rankings, we must also prioritize the protection of personal data in all aspects of business operations, including the emerging field of connected cars.

The interconnected nature of today's markets calls for a continuous commitment to ethical data practices, ensuring that growth does not come at the expense of user privacy."


Call to Action:

To the policymakers and industry stakeholders mentioned in the article, I urge a proactive approach to enact stringent data protection regulations specific to the connected car sector.

Consumers deserve transparency and control over their personal data, and it is vital to establish frameworks that prioritize user privacy while fostering innovation in connected vehicle technologies.
