Abstract
Methods and systems of leveraging multiple data-collection entities to protect personal data. Image data is captured via an image sensor of a vehicle. A classifier can partition the captured image data into personal data and non-personal data, and can assign a confidence score to the personal data. If the confidence score is below a threshold, the vehicle can broadcast a wireless signal to other data-collection entities such as other vehicles or road-side unit, wherein the wireless signal includes a request for the other data-collection entities to inform the vehicle if those data-collection entities have detected personal data at a time corresponding to when the image sensor of the vehicle captured the image data. If the other data-collection entities indeed detected such personal data at the time, the vehicle can perform various actions such as deleting the images, or the portions that include personal data.
