The AEVA argues that the existing privacy framework, rooted in the Privacy Act 1988, is inadequate for the anticipated increase in internet-enabled vehicles, projected to comprise 95% of new sales by 2035. Key recommendations include retaining sensitive data within vehicles, mandating cybersecurity standards, and ensuring consumers can opt in to data collection. The AEVA’s proposals draw on successful regulatory measures from Europe and China, emphasizing the need for transparency and consumer control over vehicle data.
