Australia is being urged to adopt similar vehicle cybersecurity laws to Europe. As it stands, data collected by new cars in Australia is stored overseas. The AEVA wants in-car data to be processed in the vehicle by default and that data collected is stored in Australia by default. There should also be strict limits on overseas data feeds from Australian vehicles to overseas manufacturers, and locals should have the rights to access, delete, and manage vehicle data. “It should also ensure that consumers and consumer-authorised third parties are not locked out of legitimate access to vehicle data, functions and resources by manufacturer-controlled digital gatekeeping.”
