The ability to access vehicle data is essential to automotive repairers. As cars become more technologically advanced, vehicle data access issues only become more important. The issue of "right to repair" and vehicle data access continue to gain prominence in the national conversation and the legislative agenda. In Sept. 2022, U.S. Congressman Earl "Buddy" Carter (R-Ga.), a member of the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee, established the House Vehicle Data Access Caucus (VDA Caucus). In Feb. 2023, Carter joined with cosponsor Congressman Darren Soto (D-Fla.,) reestablishing the bipartisan House Vehicle Data Access Caucus for the 118th Congress. Both Congressmen Carter and Soto are members of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the vehicle data access issue. |
