On the evening of May 6, car blogger @Li Mouse said that the car posted a video on its Weibo with the caption "#Gaohe Driving Recorder suspected of leaking privacy # Today I found that my car has a magical function... Terrible features". This video quickly went viral and triggered many netizens to discuss Gaohe's "car-car interconnection" function.
The "car-to-car interconnection" has been suspected of leaking user privacy
The video shows that the owner of Gaohe Automobile can view the driving recorder perspective screen of the same car through the "Car-Car Interconnection" function.
In the video, the blogger @ Li Mouse said that the car opened the list of the headshots of the same car friends with location information through the "car-car interconnection" function, and randomly clicked into a "Henan Zhengzhou car friend" page for display, after loading, soon saw the picture seen by the "Henan Zhengzhou car friend" driving recorder. Then he clicked on the avatar of a "Shanghai car owner", but it was not displayed due to the other party's network problems.
On the 7th, Gaohe Automobile responded on its official Weibo that the functions mentioned in the Microblog belong to the components of the fleet travel and vehicle-road coordination system, which are turned off by default when leaving the factory, and the user needs to open the function options in the settings after the vehicle is powered on, and confirm the privacy clause pop-up window twice to open. This function cannot be activated after the vehicle is powered down and cannot be turned on remotely.
Gaohe Automobile also stressed that this function fully considered the protection of user privacy at the beginning of development, and set up a variety of protection and confirmation measures, without any storage. There is no leakage of user privacy, please rest assured that the majority of users.
In addition, Gaohe Automobile also mentioned that at present, the "car-car interconnection" function is being updated according to the requirements of the latest national laws to provide a better user experience under the premise of strict compliance with national regulations.
Gaohe Automobile is not a nameless person in the market, because of its high-end positioning is not well known to the public, according to its official website, the six-seater model of the car is priced between 570,000 and 680,000, and the flagship version of the four-seat model is as high as 800,000.
According to public data, the cumulative sales volume of Gaohe Automobile in 2021 was 4237 vehicles, and in the first quarter of 2022, the sales volume of Gaohe HiPhi X was 1364 vehicles.
Although some netizens believe that Gao he's response is suspected of "justification", the content of Gao He's response is not false.
In the comments of the blogger @Li Mouse said that Cheyuan Weibo, some netizens posted pictures saying that the function needs to be confirmed to be turned on, and there is an obvious prompt "After sharing, others can see the picture of your driving recorder".
Blogger @ Li Mouse said that the car also confirmed this statement on the morning of the 7th, and also said in his latest video that the function is not turned on autonomously, and it needs a second confirmation to share the picture, but "after one night this function disappeared." At the same time, he also said that "there are also big V and I popularize this V2V function."
So what is V2V?
This should not be the case with V2V technology
V2V technology is called Vehicle-to-Vehicle in English, through V2V communication technology, vehicle terminals directly exchange wireless information with each other, without the need for forwarding through the base station.
The technology, released by Ford on June 3, 2014, can monitor the speed, location, and other "hidden" data of other vehicles traveling on the street that cannot be opened to other drivers. The starting point is to provide maximum safety for the driver during the driving of the vehicle.
V2V technology is not uncommon, as early as 2017, there are car bloggers have evaluated the "Internet of Vehicles" technology equipped with roewe RX5, in the evaluation roewe RX5 has a "team" function, vehicles can share destinations and other information to the vehicles in the "fleet".
Apple, which is steadily moving forward on the road to car building, also issued a patent for the V2V communication system last year. The patent background explains that these technologies promise to redefine transportation by providing a real-time, highly reliable and actionable flow of information that supports safety, mobility and environment-related applications. In addition, these technologies could pave the way for connected autonomous driving (CAD).
In addition, juniper Research, a market research firm, predicts that by 2030, more than 62 million vehicles will have vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication capabilities.
Many people believe that V2V technology is one of the technologies that must be broken through to achieve high-end unmanned driving, and car companies in various countries also take it as a key target. Although this function of Gaohe Automobile is originally intended to be V2V technology, it does not seem to deal with the balance between technology and user privacy. Its "car-to-car interconnection" function can view the driving recorder screen of other car owners, which is obviously beyond the purpose of V2V technology itself.
Since the "vehicle-vehicle interconnection" cannot achieve the purpose of V2V technology to ensure driver safety, whether the function has a significance has become a question worth exploring. For example, car blogger Li Mouse asked a soul in the video: "Does it want me to socialize?" ”
