Requires vehicle manufacturers to provide real-time access to motor vehicle data to vehicle owners and representatives.

This New Jersey bill (S 1139) requires vehicle manufacturers to give owners and their representatives direct, real-time access to a vehicle's operational data - such as speed, location, crash information, and brake performance - free of charge and without manufacturer restrictions. It defines "recorded data" to exclude audio/video but includes performance metrics stored by the vehicle, mandating access via a standard machine-readable interface. The law applies to all vehicle owners in New Jersey, including lessees and purchasers under security agreements, with exceptions for law enforcement, repairs, and emergency services. Manufacturers must provide data immediately upon request in the same quality available to them, without fees, decryption requirements, or proprietary device dependencies.
