Requires vehicle manufacturers to provide real-time access to motor vehicle data to vehicle owners and representatives.
New Jersey's bill A2531 requires vehicle manufacturers to provide owners with real-time, free access to their vehicle's recorded data - including speed, location, crash information, and performance metrics - through a standard interface. Owners or their representatives can retrieve this data without fees, decryption requirements, or needing manufacturer-provided devices, in a machine-readable format. The law excludes audio/video data and maintains existing exceptions for law enforcement (with warrants), repairs, emergency services, and safety research. This directly affects vehicle owners, manufacturers, and repair facilities by standardizing data access while preserving specific legal and safety use cases.
