Summary/Abstract: Authors address the issue of personal data protection in autonomous driving systems representing entire ecosystems of partial interacting elements and diverse cooperating entities. The operation of such systems involves the transmission and processing of a huge amount of data, among which can be found a number of important personal data that can only be processed in accordance with legal regulations. The first part of this paper therefore provides a general description of autonomous driving systems, a specification of their elements and an introduction to the key players involved in the generation or further processing of this data. Furthermore, the different categories of personal data with which the autonomous driving systems in question will operate or in which they will be found are elaborated. The central part is then a proposed solution for approaching data protection across the entire ecosystem using the principles of privacy by design and privacy by default. Finally, authors address specific legal areas such as cybersecurity and privacy in electronic communications, which cannot be ignored in the context of autonomous driving.
