Too Long; Didn't Read
Massachusetts voters approved a new law that gives consumers the right to repair the vehicles they own. The measure will require automakers that sell vehicles with telematics systems to equip them with a standardized open data platform beginning with the model year 2022. This will give vehicle owners and independent repair facilities direct access to direct access and the ability to retrieve mechanical data and run diagnostics through a mobile-based application. The opportunities and possibilities that open up with these data-sharing laws are endless. For example, if we can analyze this telemetry data, which is wirelessly transmitted to let the owners know more about the health of their car, it would be damn good stuff.
