Plain-English Summary
The legislation would require automakers to give car owners control over the data their vehicles collect, including location information and driving habits, and would allow owners to delete or prevent the sharing of this personal information with third parties. It would also establish rules about what companies can do with vehicle data and create penalties for violations. The rules would apply to car manufacturers and any companies they share data with, affecting both consumers concerned about privacy and the auto industry's data practices.
