DRIVER Act

This bill would require vehicle manufacturers to give vehicle owners free, real-time, secure access to and joint control of the data their vehicles generate, through a diagnostic port and wirelessly where available. Owners could use the data or share it with third parties for any lawful purpose, except with entities controlled by foreign adversaries. Manufacturers and fleet owners could not sell certain personal data, such as location, biometric, and driver behavior data, without offering an opt-out, and could not knowingly sell vehicle data to North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, or Venezuela. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the data access rules, and states could not keep or pass their own laws relating to those rules.
