• Connected cars generate dozens of gigabytes of data every day that can be used to improve infrastructures
• The new SEAT Data Office processes it in a secure, non-identifiable way to generate uses for the benefit of road safety
• VW Group brands collaborate to produce pavement condition maps with information from stability control, ABS and GPS

Whenever we drive a connected car, dozens of gigabytes of data are generated anonymisedly and collected by its numerous sensors and electronic components, such as traction control, stability control, the front camera and radar. By adding this data to the information obtained from other vehicles, for example, sections of roads all over Europe that are in need of repair can be located. How does this happen? The team at the new SEAT Data Office is responsible for getting and processing this huge volume of information: “by analysing it, we can detect cases of use that help all citizens, especially in terms of safety, which is what we are most passionate about” says Carlos Buenosvinos, one of the people in charge.
