@darkuncle@infosec.exchange From the article it is very clear that the opposition was in relation to a deadline which automakers deemed impossible to achieve. No need to automatically jump to malice/conspiracy conclusions. "They say they can't realistically stand up the required process across every make, model and connected-services platform by the compliance deadline, and they want it pushed back. The vehicle for that delay is SB 719, a bill that would punt the deadline—reportedly all the way to July 2027."
