Abstract
In an effort to reduce road fatalities, automobiles are increasingly being outfitted with sensors and cameras on the interior. Moreover, vehicles are becoming more automated, necessitating the use of sensors and cameras both inside and outside the vehicle. The General Safety Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, hereafter: GSR) will make some such sensors and cameras, as well as the recording of data collected by this equipment, mandatory. The introduction of all these cameras and sensors has grave implications for data protection. The GSR acknowledges this. The technologies that require data from sensors and cameras are used to determine whether the driver is fit and able to drive. Therefore, health data is collected. The processing of this type of data is prohibited under art 9(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, hereinafter: GDPR). However, article 9(2)g GDPR provides an exception to this restriction where there is a basis in Union or member state legislation. In this workshop, we will therefore take a closer look at the GSR as well as the GDPR and explore how these two regulations are intertwined.
