[00:00.04]Cars are collecting more information about how people drive
[00:04.20]and what they are doing while they drive.
[00:08.48]The cars gather information about the music their drivers listen to
[00:13.76]and their good and bad driving habits.
[00:18.56]More cars with computer processors
[00:21.56]and internet connections are getting on the road.
[00:25.24]The data they collect is valuable to car manufacturers
[00:31.00]and also information technology companies.
[00:36.12]In Europe, European Commission officials are reportedly calling for rules
[00:43.64]about how car makers should make information available
[00:48.28]to others in the car business.
[00:52.28]For example, car repair shops, insurance companies,
[00:57.48]and leasing companies all want information collected from drivers.
[01:04.80]But in some cases, large car makers seem unsure
[01:10.84]about sharing that data with other companies.
[01:15.04]One critic said the car makers are "gatekeepers"
[01:19.28]who will make money by charging others for access.
[01:24.16]If they charge too much, they will restrict competition.
[01:29.96]Independent repair shops, for example, are worried
[01:34.64]that they will not be able to fix cars
[01:37.64]if they cannot look at the information stored by a car's computer.
[01:43.12]Instead, drivers will be required
[01:47.28]to go to service centers owned by the manufacturer.
[01:53.20]Sylvia Gotzen leads a trade group called FIGIEFA
[01:58.04]which represents repair shops and car parts makers in Europe.
[02:04.48]She said car makers get the full amount of data available
[02:08.64]while businesses she represents get "crumbs."
[02:14.96]But European car makers say they need to protect drivers
[02:21.08]by restricting how much information they share.
[02:25.08]A spokesperson for the European Automobile Manufacturers Association
[02:31.68]said "uncontrolled access" is a safety and personal data security threat.
[02:38.92]Stellantis, General Motors and Volkswagen
[02:43.24]are car manufacturers that plan to make money from driver data.
[02:47.80]Some will create computer programs drivers can buy.
[02:53.12]BMW does not agree that it is restricting access.
[02:57.72]If drivers give permission, the German automaker says
[03:02.32]it can share 100 "data points," or kinds of information,
[03:07.92]with independent organizations.
[03:11.12]But the FIGIEFA said today's cars produce thousands of data points.
[03:19.60]BMW said it would like to have a meeting organized by a group,
[03:24.20]such as the European Commission,
[03:27.36]to make a list of car data points that everyone can agree on.
[03:31.76]The chief of Stellantis gave an example of how data from its cars
[03:37.60]can help cities become safer.
[03:40.28]He said his company can look at data created by a car's brakes
[03:46.12]and then tell a city which intersections on its streets
[03:51.48]cause the most emergency stops.
[03:54.96]But he added that kind of research can be costly.
[04:00.88]Another way to use the data is to find ways to reward good drivers.
[04:06.96]Car makers can send information
[04:10.12]– such as how fast a car brakes and how often it speeds up
[04:15.04]– to insurance companies.
[04:17.20]That information can be used
[04:19.64]to reduce insurance costs for good drivers.
[04:24.36]There are also car sharing companies that are independent,
[04:28.28]and those that are owned by large auto companies.
[04:32.72]The independent companies say they want to be sure
[04:36.68]they are paying the same amount for data as the others.
[04:41.84]Nicolas Jeanmart leads Insurance Europe.
[04:46.76]He said the car makers need to let the drivers control who gets their data.
[04:53.24]"You cannot leave this in the hands of car manufacturers," he said.
[04:59.76]If the car makers permit the owners access
[05:02.52]to all the information, Gotzen of FIGIEFA said,
[05:07.04]a repair shop could access the data from an internet connection.
[05:11.20]This would save car owners time and money
[05:15.08]because tests can take a lot of time and become costly.
[05:20.56]"All of this is technically possible right now," she said.
[05:25.00]But she added that "car manufacturers prevent us from doing this."
[05:31.92]One expert, Richard Knubben,
[05:34.88]said this debate might be happening too late.
[05:38.64]He noted that independent car repair shops
[05:43.44]may be in danger of going out of business
[05:45.96]because they cannot access the data right now.
[05:50.52]"By the time we get legislation," he said,
[05:53.56]"we may be stuck with an imbalance that we can't fix anymore."

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
