Smart cars cruising on the road paved with good intentions?

In this workshop we addressed the protection of individuals in the EU General Data Protection Regulation with regard to threats posed by big data applications. Using smart cars as an example, the workshop focused on the individualsâ rights under the new Regulation. After an introduction to these topics, participants were invited to discuss these issues in groups and draw general conclusions on the effectiveness of the rights for individuals under the General Data Protection Regulation.
