MEPs in the European Transport Committee have voted in favour of the 1690 European Commission to come forward with a regulatory process on access to connected car data by the end of 2018. The request for binding rules and regulations aims to ensure a secure and competitive approach that places independent service providers on an even level with car makers.

The decision was made as part of the draft report on a European Strategy on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems access to vehicle data. It will go to the plenary of the Parliament for a vote expected in the coming months.

Laurianne Krid, director general of 8054 FIA Region I said: “We welcome this call for action from the European Parliament. Now it is time that the Commission develops binding rules that will allow different service providers to compete fairly to provide connected car services. These rules should ensure that consumers have a free choice of service providers, while also providing strict data protection and security.”
