AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar makers of cars, trailers, and farm or construction vehicles from accessing data from those vehicles without the owner's written, informed 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, certain court orders, or for emergency response. They also could not share personal information of U.S. citizens or permanent residents with North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, or Venezuela. Manufacturers would have to give owners free, real-time access to and control of their vehicle data, and the Federal Trade Commission would enforce the law and report to Congress on vehicle data practices.
