Your Next Car Could Reveal More About You Than Your Facebook Profile

Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz has created a service called “Mercedes me” to provide remote access to vehicle data such as how full the tank is. It also offers live-traffic information and apps to access news, find parking and get flight information.
On its privacy statement, the Stuttgart-based company says the data may be used for marketing. BMW AG and Volkswagen’s Audi have similar programs.
About 90 percent of new vehicles in western Europe will be able to send and receive data by 2020, compared with roughly one-third next year, Hitachi Ltd. estimates.
