WASHINGTON, DC – Alliance for Automotive Innovation released the following statement on the ‘Safe Vehicle Access for Survivors Act of 2025’ introduced by Representatives Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and Dan Crenshaw (R-TX).
Hilary Cain, Senior Vice President of Policy, Alliance for Automotive Innovation said:
“Thank you to Representatives Dingell and Crenshaw for teaming up to provide needed protections to domestic violence survivors who are being stalked or harassed through connected vehicle services. That’s a misuse of this technology and entirely unacceptable.
“Last year, automakers urged policymakers to pass a vehicle-specific law to safeguard domestic violence survivors from abuse via connected vehicle technology.
“And that’s exactly what this bipartisan bill does. It’s a commonsense plan to give domestic violence survivors the ability to terminate or disable their abuser’s access to shared connected vehicle services.”
