Electric vehicle maker Tesla will work with global regulators to ensure data security, Chief Executive Elon Musk told an industry event in China on Friday.
Tesla, which assembles vehicles for the
Chinese market in Shanghai, has been under scrutiny in China this year over its
storage and handling of customer data.
Cars are being fitted with an ever-increasing
array of sensors and cameras to assist drivers but the data such equipment
generates has also raised questions about privacy and security.
"With the rapid growth of autonomous
driving technologies, data security of vehicles is drawing more public concerns
than ever before," Musk told the World New Energy Vehicle Congress on the
southern Chinese island of Hainan via videolink.
In May, Reuters reported that staff at some
Chinese government offices had been told not to park their Tesla cars inside
government compounds due to security concerns over vehicle cameras.
Tesla later said it had established a site in
China to store car data locally. - Reuters
