California’s new privacy regulator is embarking on its first-ever enforcement action to review of the privacy practices of connected automobiles.

U.S. regulators’ scrutiny of the data lags behind such efforts in Europe, which has forced automakers to update software to limit the collection and protect the privacy of consumers.
