FTC urged to probe automakers' location data sharing practices

The Federal Trade Commission has been sought by Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Ed Markey, D-Mass., to launch an investigation into major automakers' driver location data sharing practices after a congressional probe showed that only five of 14 car manufacturers required warrants or court orders before allowing law enforcement access to such data, according to The Record, a news site by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future.
