Consumer Protection - As introduced, prohibits certain entities from sharing, selling, or otherwise distributing a vehicle's driving data without the explicit, written consent of the owner of the vehicle, regardless of how or where the driving data is collected or stored. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 47 and Title 55.

SB 195 prohibits vehicle manufacturers, corporations, and third parties from sharing, selling, or distributing a vehicle's driving data without the explicit, written consent of the vehicle owner. It defines "driving data" broadly to include information from sensors, infotainment systems, telematics, and connected devices (like brake events, location, or vehicle health). Entities must disclose how data is collected and obtain annual written consent, with easy mechanisms for owners to revoke permission. The bill does not apply to data shared with government agencies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under federal law. (Note: The bill was withdrawn on February 5, 2025, per recent actions.)
