French digital law expert Thomas le Goff has explained how he sees the future for cybersecurity in the connected vehicles realm.

In a fascinating interview with Polytechnique Insight, le Goff, senior lecturer at Télécom Paris, said:

“Data generated by a vehicle, like that from other connected services or objects, must now be accessible to users and transferable to third parties of their choice.”

“We want to understand how the different texts fit together in order to eliminate redundancies, simplify the scope of application, clarify the responsibilities of each player, and limit the number of obligations to what is strictly necessary. Our work can contribute to the simplification of legislation at the French and European levels.”

“The aim is to force players who have an economic incentive to keep information secret to release it so that other companies can create services.”
