00:00.352 --> 00:04.515
Intelligence agencies and government authorities are
planning to implement comprehensive surveillance in vehicles.

00:04.515 --> 00:10.824
A committee of the European Telecommunications
Standards Institute is working hard on this.

00:10.824 --> 00:17.920
Not only representatives of the automotive industry attend
these meetings, but also police and intelligence agencies.

00:17.920 --> 00:22.650
Germany is represented by the Federal Criminal Police Office
(BKA), several state criminal police offices, the Federal

00:22.650 --> 00:28.609
Office for the Protection of the Constitution, and the Central
Office for Information Technology in the Security Sector.

00:28.609 --> 00:34.702
The collected data will continue to be accessible to intelligence
agencies, the police, the Office for the Protection of

00:34.702 --> 00:38.013
the Constitution, and law enforcement agencies—in real time.

00:38.013 --> 00:43.542
The data affected comes from the vehicle's
electronic systems and from smartphones connected to them.

00:43.542 --> 00:47.440
The actual routes traveled are already being recorded.

00:47.440 --> 00:53.112
In addition, the planned routes are to be transmitted
from the vehicle's navigation system, which will allow

00:53.112 --> 00:57.024
conclusions to be drawn about the driver's intentions.

00:57.024 --> 01:02.228
Just as all movements and activities on
smartphones are already being monitored, there

01:02.228 --> 01:05.950
will now be no privacy left in cars either.

01:05.950 --> 01:13.003
Are all these surveillance measures really intended to
protect us, or are there entirely different interests at play?

01:13.003 --> 01:21.900
Significantly, the recording of mileage and driving speeds
could even make a climate policy monitoring system conceivable.

01:21.900 --> 01:26.734
It is now up to every car buyer to resist this new technology.

01:26.734 --> 01:29.890
Unless, of course, you prefer a system of total surveillance.
