The letter, in part, states: “A malicious actor here or abroad could utilize such open access to remotely command vehicles to operate dangerously, including attacking multiple vehicles concurrently. Vehicle crashes, injuries, or deaths are foreseeable outcomes of such a situation.”
As for a possible solution, the NHTSA notes that some manufacturers have disabled vehicle telematics data entirely. However, that doesn’t seem to be a valid solution, as the data does have real world use to both manufacturers and even first responders in the event of an accident.
It’s yet to be seen how this could potentially be resolved, both in the courts and how manufacturers respond to the NHTSA. As vehicles get more and more connected by the day, this potential problem isn’t going to fade away with time, and will likely only get more relevant. This is not a case of a government agency stomping on your rights to make a political point or line the pockets of automakers. The NHTSA raises real concerns that should be addressed.
