Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to HB 357 clarify the definitions related to motor vehicle data privacy and specify that certain safety and operational data do not require consumer consent for collection. This means that while manufacturers must provide privacy controls for in-vehicle data, they can still collect essential data like safety features and engine performance without needing permission from vehicle owners. This change is important because it aims to balance consumer privacy with the need for manufacturers to ensure vehicle safety and operational integrity.
