FCC Sends Letters to Automakers, Telcos About Abusers Using Connected Cars
By Will Feuer
Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel sent letters to the biggest U.S. automakers and telecommunications companies, saying that connected-car systems have been used by abusers to stalk and harass domestic-abuse survivors.
Rosenworcel asked the companies for details on such systems and how they plan to support survivors in their efforts to disconnect from their abusers.
Rosenworcel sent letters to Ford, General Motors, Honda and other major automakers. She also sent letters to AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.
"No survivor of domestic violence and abuse should have to choose between giving up their car and allowing themselves to be stalked and harmed by those who can access its data and connectivity," Rosenworcel said. "We must do everything we can to help survivors stay safe. We need to work with auto and wireless industry leaders to find solutions."
