<ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:Subject>Vehicles: access to connected vehicle service.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law requires, beginning on January 1, 2028, for vehicles manufactured on or after January 1, 2028, that have connected vehicle location access, a covered provider, defined as a vehicle manufacturer that provides connected vehicle service, as defined, to provide a mechanism that can be used by a driver who is inside a vehicle to immediately disable connected vehicle location access. For these purposes, “connected vehicle location access” is a type of connected vehicle service that allows a person who is outside of a vehicle to view or track the location of the vehicle, including, but not limited to, a location determined by a Global Positioning System, whether through the internet, an app-based technology, or any other remote wireless connectivity technology.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to the definition of
“connected vehicle location access.”</html:p>
