[Informatics] Soon your car may give evidence and dob you in...

[Mark]

Can you be identified by your right foot? Your car is watching you...

"THE WAY YOU drive is surprisingly unique. And in an era when automobiles
have become data-harvesting, multi-ton mobile computers, the data collected
by your car—or one you rent or borrow—can probably identify you based on
that driving style after as little as a few minutes behind the wheel.

"...a group of researchers ... found that they could “fingerprint” drivers
based only on data they collected from internal computer network of the
vehicle their test subjects were driving, what’s known as a car’s CAN bus.
In fact, they found that the data collected from a car’s brake pedal alone
could let them correctly distinguish the correct driver out of 15
individuals about nine times out of ten, after just 15 minutes of driving.
With 90 minutes driving data or monitoring more car components, they could
pick out the correct driver fully 100 percent of the time."
