Senators tell NHTSA to back off on Massachusetts right-to-repair law
NHTSA told 22 major automakers in a letter on Tuesday they must comply with a federal vehicle safety law and not with the Massachusetts law, which came into effect on June 1. It warned that a malicious actor"could utilize such open access to remotely command vehicles to operate dangerously, including attacking multiple vehicles concurrently."
Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, both Democrats of Massachusetts, said in a letter to NHTSA and thethat the agency's decision"to give auto manufacturers a green light to ignore state law appears to favor Big Auto." They added the decision will"undermine the will of Massachusetts voters and the Biden Administration's competition policy, and raise questions about both the decision process and the substance of the decision by NHTSA's leadership."
They sought details on any meetings NHTSA held with auto industry lobbyists and asked if it conducted tests about the impact of the law.
