So much has changed in the world during the 10-week period of recording season 3 of the Auto Futures Podcast.

Data is king. Consumers are connected from when they wake up to when they go to sleep, with much more happening in the background 24 hours a day. It has created a new way to communicate, solve and move, but there are many challenges that it has also created. Most importantly, privacy. Data privacy is something that the wider industry is taking note of, but it has taken too long. Now, companies must focus on finding new ways to think about data in the 21st century, whilst protecting themselves and their customers. Arwen Smit, a good friend of Auto Futures, joins Alex, Ben and Chris, to talk about how we can effectively manage data and her latest book: Identity Reboot. Check it out!
