no I don't mind, I'll comment on your answer inline

I don't think it's  clear enough in the draft that we're talking about
closed circuit system, not communicated initiated from within the car
to outside, any outside device  including other cars. The case of
accessing the car's network from a service point of view are still
inside the car's domain.

Am I understanding this correct?


Another issue is the use of the term site, you could explain how you
are using that term.
I personal would consider any inner car communication to be within a
site, including when I connect my phone to the on-board media-system
to stream music or movie. Any communication toward outside the car are
out of the site.

as said above, I understand those two draft to talk about inner car
communication, not communication toward _any_ device outside the car.
That include communication to other nearby cars, parking automate and
more.

Or to sum it up as I see it with regard to the privacy issue - the
issue is when the car, or someone in the car use an IP toward _any_
outside device that can be traced back to the VIN of any car
(vehicles).

no problem, good to get such a good explanation back :)
