Inside the briefing

01

What the Data Act actually changes

Connected products must let users access, use and share the data they generate — for vehicles, a real shift in who gets to create the value.

02

The first domino

Freeing data securely requires the software-defined-vehicle foundations: structured data, governed software, and one tool chain across the lifecycle.

03

What to do now

Concrete moves — one source of truth, diagnostics, software-download and verification discipline — turn the obligation into a business advantage.
