SYMPOSIUM ARTICLE: PRIVACY IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
by Dorothy J. Glancy
Privacy and privacy laws will significantly influence the development of autonomous vehicles. Linking an individual person with an autonomous vehicle brings a number of privacy interests into play. Autonomy privacy interests, personal information privacy interestsand surveillance privacy interests will all affect the powerful disruptive technologies involved in autonomous vehicles. Each of these privacy interests is associated with a substantial body of privacy law that will apply to autonomous vehicles. Because different configurations of autonomous vehicles will affect the reasonableness of privacy expectations regarding autonomous vehicles, this Article uses two models of potential types of autonomous vehicles?self contained autonomous vehicles as compared with interconnected autonomous vehicles. These two models help in understanding some of the ways in which autonomous vehicles will affect privacy at the same time as privacy affects autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles will impact the personal autonomy of vehicle users by influencing individual choices and decisions about personal transportation. External control over an autonomous vehicle may discourage autonomous vehicle use because it threatens to override individual autonomy regarding transport decisions and destinations .Moreover, an autonomous vehicle is capable of collecting detailed personal information about the location and behavior of a person associated with it. What is done with that personal information can be of vital importance to the person. Autonomous vehicles will also be capable of facilitating surveillance of where an individual is, what the individual is doing and with whom, as well as keeping track of all the places to which that individual has traveled. Undercentralized control, such surveillance could result in mass surveillance of all autonomous vehicle users. Because autonomous vehicles are not yet available as consumer products, now is the time to adopt potential strategies for optimizing interactions between privacy andautonomous vehicles.
