In the past two years, there has been a concept that cars will become intelligent terminals, in addition to the more technological cockpits in the car, the radar and cameras outside the car have become more and more common. In this context, information security has gradually become a hot topic in the car discussion, from Tesla models being banned from appearing in certain scenes, to BYD's suspension of "clairvoyance", the discussion on information security seems to have never stopped.
Recently, Gaohe, a new domestic car-making force, has once again sent the word information security to the hot search. Previously, a well-known car blogger released a video, Gaohe Automobile's driving recorder can receive signals from other Gaohe cars through the owner's interconnection function, and read the contents of these car driving recorders.
As soon as the video was released, it caused the industry to discuss the "suspected leakage of privacy of the Gaohe car recorder", for the owner, they are worried that the function will share the recorder information without their knowledge, infringing on the privacy of their cars and outside the car. Although Gaohe immediately said in a statement that the function is mainly used for fleet travel and vehicle-road coordination, and requires the consent of users when it is opened, there is no privacy security risk, but it is inevitable that car information security will be rampant.

According to the video display in the network, Gaohe's "vehicle-vehicle interconnection" function can turn on the remote imaging function after remotely connecting other users' vehicles. Click a button on the car's dashcam interface, there will be a list showing other car owners' avatars, nicknames and other information, and any click on an avatar can directly load the owner's driving recorder screen. There is a great sense that car owners know the world without going out.
Gaohe said in the announcement that the above-mentioned viewing vehicle camera function belongs to the component of the fleet travel and vehicle-road coordination system, which is turned off by default at the factory, and the user needs to open the function options in the settings after the vehicle is powered on, and the pop-up window can be opened through the secondary confirmation of privacy terms. This function cannot be activated after the vehicle is powered down and cannot be turned on remotely. Gaohe also said 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. Gaohe believes that this does not leak user privacy.
From the procedural point of view, Gaohe vehicles have played a certain warning role for car owners, and it seems that it is not unreasonable. But it is worth mentioning that Gaohe immediately offline this function, the official said that the "car-car interconnection" function is currently being updated according to the latest national legal requirements, will be strictly in accordance with the premise of national regulations to provide users with a better experience. The updated nodes are a little clever.
Shen Hui, the founder of WM, who has always been good at "rubbing hot spots", spoke out again in the information security discussion caused by Gaohe, "For users, all options are boxed 'reject', and may not even be able to enter the car and machine system." The information is safe, but also gives up the intelligent properties of the car and is not worth it. All of them 'agreed', completely handed over their information security to the main engine factory, and lost the initiative to protect privacy, which was improper. Therefore, what users need is an electronic fence of privacy and data protection that can be multiple selected and personalized. It concluded that under the framework of laws and regulations, understand what kind of "electronic fence" users need to protect user privacy and ensure data security.
Automotive information security is being paid attention to The opportunity to drill Confucius is not much!
With the faster and faster pace of automobile networking, automotive information security has also become the focus of the industry in recent years. The "Several Provisions on the Security Management of Automobile Data (Trial)", jointly issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China and other departments, clearly requires that operators should obtain the consent of the person being collected to collect personal information, except where laws and regulations stipulate that individual consent is not required. In practice, it is difficult to achieve (such as collecting audio and video information outside the car through the camera), and it is really necessary to provide it, it should be anonymized or desensitized, including deleting pictures containing natural persons that can identify natural persons, or locally contouring the faces in these pictures.
During this year's two sessions, Tan Minqiang, deputy to the National People's Congress, deputy chief engineer of Dongfeng Company, secretary of the Party Committee and director of dongfeng Company's technology center, also pointed out that with the development of automobile digitalization and the accelerated popularization of intelligence, intelligent cars have integrated a large number of cameras, radars, speedometers, navigators and other sensors, resulting in information security problems such as remote control, data theft, and information deception in Internet intelligent terminals.
In fact, Gaohe is not the first company to "remove" related functions due to information security, in March this year, BYD can remotely view the "clairvoyance" function of the camera image outside the car suddenly can not be used, in the BYD Auto App to open this function will prompt "according to the latest national regulations, the outside image function is being upgraded, so stay tuned." According to the report, BYD customer service responded, 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 end of the car, 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.
In retrospect, in recent years, the publicity highlights of new models are not much more than the "intelligent network connection" column, which involves many functions that have played an extraordinary role in the convenience of consumers' cars, but the suspected "leakage of privacy" functions such as BYD and Gaohe are not in the minority, especially in recent years, many brands have launched functions such as vehicle photography/video, such as Auchan, etc. The discussion on automotive information security may be far from over. In addition, whether it is BYD's "clairvoyance" or Gaohe's vehicle camera function in this article, it is the privacy of others that is leaked, and with the further deepening of the intelligent network, I am afraid that it will not be uncommon for Tesla to be hacked before. Car information security is worth paying attention to.
