Presentation

The regulatory road to monetization of digital cars

When technology and investments are global in scale in the transition to autonomous, connected, electric and shared mobility of the future, consumers will need to trust the technology, the companies that develop it and those that provide related services. New business models that, for example, rely on subscription models and digital intermediation of rides create new risks and therefore new regulatory challenges that must be addressed. The value of data generated by digital cars requires data protection regulations (e.g. GDPR) and, in particular, mobility data regulations and cybersecurity regulations. Subscription and platform models for digital services will necessitate e-commerce and consumer protection regulations. The need for regulatory standards and changing government regulations is a real challenge and critical to the success of this transformation. This presentation will discuss regulatory topics of business models related to the value of data generated by digital cars.
