European Union issues new regulations, self-driving car data will go to car companies

On October 10th, local time in Europe, in the EU's voting on the registration of autonomous vehicles, the clause 7A of which was "The data generated by autonomous vehicles is automatically generated, and its essence is not creative, so it does not apply to copyright protection. Or database rights".

According to the new regulations, car companies can collect data generated by self-driving cars without the consent of car owners, and can sell them to insurance, marketers, advertising companies, etc. Even these data may contain GPS information that can locate the owner of the car.

The European Union has decided that any telemetry data generated by these vehicles will be copyrighted by the manufacturer of the car, which is bad news. For those who work in their own cars, or who may want to work in their own cars in the future, or even anyone who wants to keep vehicle data, learn to control their driving data instead of becoming a big company "Data Farm".

The dispute over copyright data

According to the terms of 7A, regardless of whether the vehicle is an autonomous vehicle or not, the data generated is telemetry data, which belongs to factual data, and factual data does not belong to creative work, which does not belong to the scope of copyright protection. This includes two meanings.

For car owners, these data are not created by the subjective initiative of the car, but because of the objective existence of the car, so it is not protected by copyright. Car companies can sense and collect it through the sensors of the car.

For car companies, the data collected by a single vehicle is factual data, not creative data, and there is no need to consider copyright issues. However, a single vehicle data has no value, but needs to be sorted and processed. This is a creative work, and therefore belongs to the copyright data of the car company.

Therefore, 7A protects the copyright of the auto-driving data of the car company. For the car owner, sorry, it does not protect the car owner's vehicle data. So what do car owners need to use vehicle data?

Car owners have to spend money to use data?

Regarding vehicle data, car companies sometimes directly display it to the owner, such as speed data, while some data, such as vehicle failure information, will not be displayed by the car company. The vehicle data collected by car companies may require the owner to pay instead. For example, real-time traffic conditions can be determined by collecting the speed of a large number of vehicles per hour.

In the future, the use of more vehicle data may require the owner of the vehicle to pay, that is, the owner of the vehicle. There are already cases in the agricultural machinery market.

John Deere's agricultural machinery products are equipped with humidity sensors, position sensors, torque sensors, etc., so they can collect a large amount of soil data, and even the soil data can be accurate to centimeters. However, these data do not belong to the farmers who owned John Deere Agricultural Machinery, but were collected by John Deere, who produces agricultural machinery, on the company's notorious DRM platform, and finally sold to the futures market.

For farmers, it is necessary to know their own soil data? Sorry, you have to buy Monsanto seeds, and then John Deere will provide relevant soil data scattered through the app.

As the types and uses of vehicle data continue to increase, owners of passenger cars in the future may also face the same problems as farmers who own John Deere agricultural machinery.

Still want to buy a car?

The most important starting point for mankind to buy a vehicle is to go from point A to point B, which is the demand for travel.

Now, the cost of owning a car is rising, such as rising gas fees (including charging fees and service fees), parking fees, maintenance fees, insurance fees, and so on. Moreover, the vehicle will cause trouble, such as difficulty in parking, repairing the vehicle, paying illegal fees and so on.

Now, there is another factor, that is, owning a car may reveal the privacy of the owner, just like the data released by domestic companies earlier showed that the owners of various car models love to go. Mercedes-Benz car owners love hot pot, Cadillac car owners love to go to the bath center, etc.

When there is a problem with the desensitization of data collected by car companies, it is easy to spy on the privacy of the car owner. Not long ago, NIO, a new force in car-making, also triggered a big discussion about privacy protection in the car. With the improvement of automobile intelligence level, these problems will become more and more prominent in the future.

Therefore, we should now consider the question of whether we still need to own a car. With the increasing convenience of shared travel, the difficulty of taking taxis in China is only a temporary problem, and car companies have announced the transformation of travel services. For car companies, the value of a bicycle for travel services is much higher than the value of manufacturing. For car owners, the cost of owning a car is rising.

The above factors show that there may really be no need to buy a car in the future. With the popularization of autonomous driving technology, driving may become an aristocratic sport, just like many people can travel on horseback before, but now horse riding is already a noble sport. .
