Potential privacy nightmares abound in car-to-car communications
systems that feds may require
http://j.mp/1bdexM4 (Ars Technica)
Just how soon this technology will hit the streets is still an open
question, however. V2V is largely ready to go. And last year, the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seemed poised
to mandate the technology in every vehicle. "NHTSA has to make a
decision about [if it's] going to proceed toward a regulation that
would require this on new cars," said Schulman. But that announcement
has been held up. And part of the reason may be the leaks from former
National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden and the heightened
awareness among both citizens and legislators of government
surveillance. "Given what's happened with the NSA," Schulman said, "I
think they felt, 'If an announcement came out tomorrow, people are
going to freak out.'"
