Safe Vehicle Access for Survivors: Disabling Remote Services

New legislation aims to help survivors of abuse disable remote vehicle services that abusers might misuse for tracking or harassment. This ensures survivors can safely use their vehicles without fear of control by the abuser. Car manufacturers will be required to respond quickly to such requests.
Key points
Survivors of abuse can request car manufacturers to disable remote vehicle services (e.g., location, remote control) misused by abusers.
Car companies must act within 2 business days of receiving a request, without extra fees or abuser's consent.
The request requires proof of sole ownership or exclusive legal possession of the vehicle by the survivor (e.g., court order).
Information provided by survivors is confidential and cannot be shared with third parties.
Car manufacturers must provide clear instructions on their websites on how to submit such a request.
