I'm not familiar with the existing law covering OBD2/CAN bus, but I'm pretty sure even when the OBD2 port gives you the ability to communicate with all networks (D-CAN, K-CAN, etc...), it's currently up to the community to reverse engineer the commands etc... As for data that was transmitted "last week" I'd rather my car not transmit data continuously, and if I wanted to monitor it continuously I could just plug in a scanner with an embedded computer. There are already a multitude of such devices for OBD, both that pair with your phone and which run as independent devices. |

In other words, the prior question covered wired connections, but wireless telematics was a "loophole" of sorts. If I were an OEM and wanted to sell in MA, I had an easy way to get data that would be able to stay proprietary to me and my network of dealers so long as I transmitted that data wirelessly.
I probably agree with you on the continuous data transmission point wrt desirability overall, but given that your car is going to do it anyway, I want that data to not be locked in the OEM garden. This removes that major advantage to using wireless transmission to work around this.
