Response to Data Act (including the review of the Directive 96/9/EC on the legal protection of databases)

13 May 2022

10 May 2022 Joint Statement on Data Act and the need for a sector-specific legislation on access to in-vehicle data By ACA, FFEA, FRANCE ASSUREURS, MOBILIANS, MOBIVIA, SESAM LLD, SNSA & UFE; connected mobility players New services arising from vehicle connectivity will improve peaceful driving, comfort and life of drivers and passengers, while contributing to road safety, infrastructure optimization, ecological transition and vehicle electrification. As with any digital technology, data represents the key component in these developments. As players of the mobility ecosystem, we welcome the Data Act’s main goals: o the creation of a single market for data; o the right for users to access the data generated by connected devices; o the right to transfer access to such data to the third-party of their choice. However, as far as automotive data are concerned, we believe that while the access through third-party service providers is necessary and welcomed, it remains an insufficient step. To protect consumer rights and the innovative capacity of European undertakings, many use-cases will require direct access to in-vehicle data and resources. We are therefore convinced that a sector-specific legislation on access to in-vehicle data is required to complete the Data Act approach. If the European Union wants to foster innovation and see new players emerge in favor of more sustainable, shared and innovative mobility, it is essential that access to vehicle data is open to all relevant players, at the risk of creating distortions of competition and wasting time in the development of solutions that benefit European citizens.
