Key Points

Car makers and their app/service partners would have to cut off an abuser’s access to connected car features when a survivor asks.
Companies would have 2 business days to act, such as shutting off the abuser’s account, wiping the car’s connection data, or helping the survivor set up a new account.
Survivors would need to give the vehicle ID number, name the abuser, and show they own or legally possess the vehicle (like a court order).
Companies couldn’t charge fees, require the abuser’s approval, extend contracts, or raise rates as a condition for shutting off access, and they must keep survivor info confidential and dispose of it within 90 days.
The communications agency, working with the vehicle safety agency, would write the detailed rules, and states would generally be blocked from making different rules in this same area.
