S 2305 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires vehicle manufacturers to provide real-time access to motor vehicle data to vehicle owners and representatives.

This bill requires vehicle manufacturers to provide owners and their authorized representatives (like mechanics) with real-time, free access to vehicle data such as speed, location, crash information, and brake performance. Owners can request this data in a machine-readable format without fees, decryption requirements, or needing manufacturer-provided tools. It directly affects vehicle owners seeking to access their own vehicle data for repairs, personal use, or safety verification. The law mandates that manufacturers share this data as collected by the vehicle's systems, excluding audio/video recordings.
