         | Such things already exist. Here's an example:
         | https://www.caruso-dataplace.com/
         | 
         | So today a consent of the vehicle owner is required and the
         | owner needs to document the they "posses" the rights to the
         | vin. This is how it works for bmw: you request data through
         | that portal, the portal requests the access through the
         | manufacturer. The manufacturer sends a consent request to the
         | registered owner via email. If consent is granted via connected
         | drive portal, data market starts receiving data and so do you.
         | To even be eligible for consent request, the vehicle needs to
         | be car data enabled which is done at a dealership with pen and
         | paper signature. At least that's how it works in Germany right
         | now.
         | 
         | Disclosure: I know the sales and tech team at Caruso Dataplace
         | but I'm not connected to the company in any commercial way.

           | How does the manufacturer have the owner's email after
           | something like a private resale? Would they just send the
           | consent request to the original purchaser?

             | Presumably the registered owner can be updated.
             | 
             | It should be easy enough to prove ownership to a dealer or
             | whatever and have them update the registration. It seems
             | toe the corner cases there are more unfortunate than
             | dangerous.

       | haven't been able to find any information outside of a couple of
       | press releases.
