Privacy by Design: Analysis of Capacitive Proximity Sensing as System of Choice for Driver Vehicle Interfaces
Data collection is beneficial. Therefore, automotive
manufacturers start including data collection services. At the
same time, manufacturers install cameras for human
machine interfaces in vehicles. But those systems may
disclose further information than needed for gesture
recognition. Thus, they may cause privacy issues. The law
(GDPR) enforces privacy by default and design. Research
often states that capacitive proximity sensing is better to
serve privacy by design than cameras. Furthermore, it is
unclear if customers value privacy preserving features.
Nonetheless, manufacturers value the customer’s voice. Therefore, several vehicular human machine interface
systems, with camera or capacitive proximity sensing, are
analyzed. Especially concerning gesture recognition,
capacitive proximity sensing systems provide similar features
like camera-based systems. The analysis is based on the
GDPR privacy definition. Due to the analysis, it is revealed
that capacitive proximity sensing systems have less privacy
concerns causing features. Subsequently, three hypotheses
are formulated to capture the customer’s voice. Due to
analysis results, it is questionable if gesture recognition
systems, which utilize cameras, are compliant with privacy by
design. Especially since well-known systems like capacitive
proximity sensing are available. A survey concerning the
hypotheses will give further insights in future work
