Patented approach efficiently and effectively communicates vehicle privacy to consumers
ATLANTA, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Privacy4Cars, the first privacy-tech company focused on solving the privacy and security issues posed by vehicle data to protect consumers and automotive businesses, announced today it has been awarded a new patent for its system and method for generating dynamically variable multi-dimensional privacy ratings for vehicles, by the US Patent Office. This marks the first AI method on record to score privacy in vehicles, and is Privacy4Cars' 10th awarded patent.
The first-of-its-kind method will be featured in future expansions of Privacy4Cars' popular Vehicle Privacy Report™ tool. Specifically, it will be used to enhance disclosures to help vehicle occupants better understand the growing web of companies that are collecting, storing, using, making automated decisions, sharing, and/or selling data about them through their connected vehicles.
"Keeping with our commitment to Driving Privacy, we've leveraged emerging AI tools and technologies to create a new process that computes a dynamic privacy rating for vehicles based on a multitude of both public and proprietary datasets," said Andrea Amico, CEO and founder, Privacy4Cars. "Consumers and regulators alike have voiced the need for a single, comprehensive privacy rating system that quickly and dynamically rates and explains a vehicle's privacy score and its underlying drivers, similarly to how vehicle safety ratings are communicated. The dynamic scoring system adjusts based on a variety of factors, including changes in law and actions taken by consumers and/or companies. This new process is primed to become the universal standard for communicating vehicle privacy across the entire global automotive ecosystem and provides a roadmap for continuously improving privacy in vehicles."
U.S. Patent No. 12,287,904 focuses on generating AI models configured to generate scores for multiple attributes of one or more personal data handling approaches associated with a vehicle and/or an in-vehicle unit of the vehicle that handles personal data of a user. It is the first method to leverage AI to create a dynamic scoring system and dynamic privacy-improving recommendations, and can be processed in real-time with the simple input of a vehicle's VIN or registration plate number.
With its latest patent, Privacy4Cars has created a roadmap for generating, using the AI model and the personal data handling approaches that have been semantically analyzed, scores for the multiple attributes of each of the one or more personal data handling approaches. Then processing the scores to generate a privacy score for the target vehicle, which can be dynamically adjusted for the target vehicle based on privacy change factors.
