The Driver Data Control Act of 2024 restricts access to data collected by vehicle event data recorders, commonly known as "black boxes." Federal law enforcement can only retrieve this data with a valid search warrant, through a court order that gives the vehicle owner 48 hours to object, or in emergency medical situations. The bill prohibits insurance companies, lenders, and car leasing companies from requiring owners to consent to data retrieval as a condition of providing insurance or a lease, and prevents these entities from accessing data simply because they took possession of a vehicle after an accident. The legislation applies to all vehicle owners, drivers, and insurance companies that operate in the United States. There is no specific funding or implementation timeline mentioned in the bill, as it primarily establishes legal limitations on data access rather than creating new programs or expenditures.
