Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act

# Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act (HR 6734) Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would establish federal privacy protections for data collected by connected vehicles and autonomous cars. It aims to create rules around what personal information automakers and technology companies can collect from vehicles (such as location data, driving habits, and biometric information), how that data can be used, and what rights consumers have regarding their information. **Who It Affects:** The bill would impact car manufacturers, tech companies that develop vehicle systems, and vehicle owners.

As more cars become "connected" with internet access and autonomous features, this bill would set national standards for protecting the personal data generated by these vehicles. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It has not advanced to further legislative action at this time.
