To be safe and reliable, computer-controlled vehicles must rely on multiple sources of data input in order to avoid collisions. In addition to video cameras, radar and LIDAR (light detection and ranging), autonomous vehicles will rely on transmissions from other vehicles—and will be broadcasting their own data as well—to help the vehicles stay out of the others’ way.

A couple of weeks ago, I was among those from the Warner&nbsp;Privacy and Cybersecurity team to attend the annual IAPP Global Privacy Summit in Washington, D.C.
