From 2018 every new car will contain a black box that automatically alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash.
Emma Carr, director of Big Brother Watch, said: “There is a clear risk that once this device is installed, drivers will lose total control over who has access to their data and how they will use it.
“Forcing drivers to have a device installed in their car, which is capable of recording and transmitting exactly where and when they are driving, is totally unacceptable.
“The European Parliament itself admitted that it expects a whole host of commercial companies to have access to this data.”
