Such things already exist. Here’s an example: https://www.caruso-dataplace.com/ https://www.caruso-dataplace.com/
So today a consent of the vehicle owner is required and the owner needs to document the they “posses” the rights to the vin. This is how it works for bmw: you request data through that portal, the portal requests the access through the manufacturer. The manufacturer sends a consent request to the registered owner via email. If consent is granted via connected drive portal, data market starts receiving data and so do you. To even be eligible for consent request, the vehicle needs to be car data enabled which is done at a dealership with pen and paper signature. At least that’s how it works in Germany right now.
Disclosure: I know the sales and tech team at Caruso Dataplace but I’m not connected to the company in any commercial way.
- yummypaint 6y agoDoes the car not transmit any data prior to authorization?
- rad_gruchalski 6y agoThat I do not know. All I know is: if there is no signature to consent to car data sharing, nobody ever will be able to request the consent. The car may be trying talking to manufacturer but what happens there, I do not know. This is all regulated by the ISO 27017 standard.
- AlotOfReading 6y agoHow does the manufacturer have the owner's email after something like a private resale? Would they just send the consent request to the original purchaser?
- maxerickson 6y agoPresumably the registered owner can be updated. It should be easy enough to prove ownership to a dealer or whatever and have them update the registration. It seems to me that the corner cases there are more unfortunate than dangerous.
- rad_gruchalski 6y agoDepends how you purchase the second hand vehicle. If the first owner did a trade in, it’s all easy to manage. If it’s a direct sale, I guess it’s worth asking the first owner for the connectivity status. Even so, I believe a visit at a dealer with registration document would get that resolved pretty fast.
- throwawayboise 6y agoPretty sure that in the US, the various states provide manufacturers with updates to vehicle title and registration changes. This is primarily so that vehicle owners can be notified of safety recalls.
