Policy Positions

Empowering vehicle owners with full control over their data offers broad benefits across competition, consumer protection, cybersecurity, economic growth, mobility, privacy, property rights, and safety.

Property Rights

Ownership doesn’t stop at the hardware—vehicle owners deserve full control over their car’s data.

Cybersecurity

Full ownership of data reduces the risk of data breaches or misuse.

Competition

Open access to vehicle data fuels innovation and consumer choice in the automotive industry.

Economic Growth

Data access supports a dynamic economy by allowing more companies to innovate.

Consumer Protection

To protect personal information that can be extrapolated by vehicle- generated data, consumers deserve to own and control all their vehicle data.

Customer Experience

Data access allows fleet owners to improve and customize their customers’ experiences.

Mobility

Data ownership by vehicle owners optimizes energy usage, driving habits, and overall vehicle performance.

Safety & Maintenance

Vehicle data can be used to accurately diagnose issues, guide repairs, and predict maintenance needs.

Privacy

Providing vehicle owners access to their data guarantees a foundational level of privacy where personal data is shared only with consent by the owner.

Owners should have the right to decide how their data is shared. Access to vehicle data is fundamental to privacy, putting control back in the hands of the owners rather than manufacturers.
