Although autonomous vehicles will have many benefits, not only in the field of road safety but also in personal autonomy for those who cannot drive non-autonomous vehicles and are thus dependent on the help of others (the elderly and handicapped), the collection of data in real-time may hurt the privacy of persons whose personal data is processed. This paper deals with the data collected and processed in the operation of autonomous vehicles, their further use, and some of the problematic issues related to this process. This paper offers a solution consisting of the adoption of special legislation on processing personal and non-personal data because the distinction mentioned above will blur and be fluid in an enormous amount of data. This approach would be analogous to electronic communications data, irrespective of their personal and non-personal form. The paper does not seek to assess how to process personal data in the operation of autonomous vehicles under the GDPR but instead points out that the GDPR does not provide a suitable legal framework.
