In the past two days, SOME BYD users have found that after clicking "clairvoyance" on the BYD Auto APP on their mobile phones, they can no longer be used. The text displayed on the interface is "According to the latest national regulations, the out-of-car imaging function is being upgraded, so stay tuned." ”
Some car owners in the consultation with BYD auto customer service, the reply is that according to the latest regulatory requirements: the car collects video and image data outside the car, if you need to provide it to the outside of the car, you should anonymize the face and license plate information in the data at the car end, and the clairvoyant function is currently being optimized based on the requirements of the regulations, so it is temporarily unable to provide you with clairvoyant call outside the car image service.
However, customer service also said that this adjustment is only optimized for remotely invoking panoramic images and driving recorder functions on the mobile APP, and the panoramic and driving recorder software on the car is not affected.
"Clairvoyance" is a remote image system provided by BYD DiLink intelligent network system for users, after opening the "Clairvoyance" function on the mobile phone, the owner can view the vehicle situation in real time, respectively, there are images inside the car, panoramic images outside the car, and driving recorders.
At present, the function is used on many BYD models, and it is not known when the function will return to normal.
In fact, with the continuous improvement of the degree of automobile intelligence in recent years, automotive data security has attracted widespread attention from society. At the two sessions last year, Tan Jianfeng, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the Shanghai Information Security Industry Association, submitted a proposal on strengthening the supervision of intelligent vehicle data security, calling for the standardization of the software supply chain of the automotive industry and accelerating the implementation of data collection, storage, processing, application of laws, regulations and technical standards related to intelligent vehicles and smart roads.
On May 12, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued several provisions on the security management of automotive data (draft for solicitation of comments) (hereinafter referred to as the draft opinion), requiring the strengthening of personal information and important data protection, the regulation of automotive data processing activities, and the safeguarding of national security and public interests. The Draft Opinions point out that operators shall implement a graded network security protection system, strengthen the protection of personal information and important data, and perform network security obligations in accordance with law. Among them, in the process of processing personal information and important data, it is necessary to adhere to five principles, including the principle of in-car processing, unless it is really necessary not to provide it to the outside of the car; the principle of anonymization, if it is really necessary to provide it to the outside of the car, as far as possible to carry out anonymization and desensitization processing.
