Financial Times, UK: Cognizant’s Innovation Head for Manufacturing and Logistics Talks About Connected Cars

“Data transmitted from a connected car could tell someone a lot about the driver,” says Prasad Satyavolu. “How fast [and how well] they drive, where they are, what routes they take, what times they typically drive, even what music they listen to.”

He adds, “There are benefits to carmakers and insurers from the data, but with consumers more aware of data privacy than ever, it is important that there is transparency on which data are shared, with whom and why.”

Satyavolu notes, “As long as consumers have the ability to opt in and can see the benefits of sharing their data, and manufacturers are putting in place measures to anonymize and store data safely, then it should be down to the individual to determine the line between cost savings and their data use.”
