The DRIVER Act would require automakers to give vehicle owners free, real-time access to all electronic data their car collects, including from sensors, GPS, and onboard systems. Owners could share that data with any repair shop, app, or service they choose, and would have the right to delete personal information stored in the vehicle. Manufacturers could not charge fees or require special tools for owners to read their own data.
The bill affects anyone who owns, leases, or regularly drives a car in the United States, as well as businesses with vehicle fleets. It also applies to automakers and any companies that currently buy or use data collected by connected vehicles.
If passed, the bill would override all state laws covering the same ground, establishing a single national standard. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the law, and companies that violate the rules would be subject to FTC penalties.
