Federal regulators are working hard to fight cybersecurity and privacy threats from vehicles with systems that connect to the internet. The Federal Trade Commission, the U.S.’s primary privacy and data security regulatory agency, is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to address threats to consumers from connected cars. The FTC and the NHTSA will hold a June 28 workshop to bring together a wide range of stakeholders, including industry representatives, consumer advocates, government regulators and academics to discuss privacy and security issues raised by connected vehicles.
