The paper discusses the connected car that by causing serious threads to data protection, constructs a serious dilemma of legal ethics. The author starts with the necessary conceptual work and then tackles the problem of rational justification of moral dilemmas. Moral dilemmas are taken as moral problems that are difficult because they should be solved by a rationally justified solution, although all alternatives for the solution are entangled, i.e. whenever an alternative delivers a building bloc necessary for rational justification it simultaneously threatens or takes away another one. The reason for this is found in a great many of incommensurate factors, i.e. factors that prevent comparison between moral factors, e.g. moral parameters, moral technologies, perspectives etc. Nevertheless, workaround solutions are often possible and the author concludes by suggesting such a solution for the moral dilemma constructed by the connected car.
