Third, it offers a set of recommended business and public policy proposals useful in resolving the data accessibility issue necessary for the safe and effective repair of automobiles by both retail automotive dealers and independent automotive repair shops. Lastly, following a summary of business and public policy proposals, a discussion of broader applications of data accessibility, security, and privacy in the era of the Internet of Things concludes the article.
