The probe in one of Asia's most wired countries came as a fresh setback to Google, which already faces investigation over "Street View" by 37 U.S. states as well as an informal investigation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and a variety of probes overseas and class action lawsuits.
Security experts have said the data picked up by Google could include people's email messages and passwords, although Google has said that the United Kingdom's data protection authorities recently concluded that no "meaningful personal information" was collected by the cars.
