Tesla To Allow Car Owners In China To Access Data Through New Platform

Data collected from Tesla electric cars in China is stored in the country, a company executive said

Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla said that it is developing a platform in China that will allow car owners to access data generated by their vehicles. Tesla aims to launch the data platform this year, the company said in a statement. 

A Reuters report suggests that this is the first time a service like this is being provided in China by any automaker. 

A company executive had previously said that, in accordance with China’s draft rules to ensure the security of data generated by smart cars, data collected from Tesla electric cars in China is stored in the country. 

For the past several years, car manufacturers have been equipping more vehicles with cameras and sensors to capture images of a car’s surroundings. Control of use, sending and storage of these images is a fast-emerging challenge for the industry and regulators worldwide, says the report.
