Auto manufacturers receive as much as 25GB of data per hour from your vehicle and get to decide where that data goes. Access to vehicle data is mission critical for us. That’s why we are working with the Auto Care Association and Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA) to raise consumer awareness of this issue and support industry advocacy efforts. Help us protect our industry and ensure consumer choice.
It’s Your Car. Your Data. And it should be Your Choice.
