Forensic analysis of voice control system data – Forensic use of in-car voice assistants
In-car voice control systems process spoken commands to operate navigation, communication and comfort functions, and in some cases log command histories or times of use.
This data may be relevant for understanding how the vehicle is actually operated whilst driving, as well as any potential distraction caused by interacting with the system.
