Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act

This bill would bar makers of cars, trucks, trailers, and farm or construction vehicles from accessing vehicle data without the owner's written consent, unless the data is used only to improve vehicle performance or safety. Manufacturers could not sell or share the data without owner consent, except under a warrant, a court order with notice to the owner, or for an emergency response. They also could not provide personal information of U.S. citizens or permanent residents to North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, or Venezuela. Manufacturers would have to give owners free, real-time access to and control of their vehicle's data, including through wireless transmission and an open interface. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the law and report to Congress on how vehicle data is used and shared.
