Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act

The Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act requires vehicle manufacturers to obtain explicit, written consent from owners before accessing or sharing their vehicle data, and prohibits selling personal information to specific foreign governments like China, Russia, or Iran. It ensures vehicle owners can freely access, control, and delete their data - including user-generated information - without fees, proprietary devices, or restrictions. Manufacturers must provide this access via a secure, technology-neutral system that works with any device, and the Federal Trade Commission will enforce these rules while creating standards within a year. The law applies to most motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, and farming/construction vehicles, superseding conflicting state or federal regulations.
