Car data privacy dashboard

Build a tool that lets car owners see and control what data their connected vehicles send to manufacturers. Integrate with major brands' APIs to fetch and visualize data sharing.

Why now

Connected vehicles are proliferating, but owners have little visibility into what data is collected and shared.

Privacy-conscious car owners
Business model

Effort
A few months

Modern cars collect vast amounts of data – location, driving habits, even in-car conversations – which is sent to manufacturers with little transparency. Owners have no easy way to see or control this data flow.

A web app that connects to car APIs (like FordPass, MyBMW) to show exactly what data is being collected. It would let users opt out of non-essential tracking and request data deletion.

Car owners would pay for privacy, especially luxury vehicle owners who value discretion. Subscription model with tiered privacy controls.

MVP: A simple dashboard showing data collected by one major brand, with basic opt-out toggles.

Risk: Car makers may restrict API access if this gains traction.
