No OBD for you!

Well, this certainly will be interesting, depending how it will play out.

Short version, some car manufacturers are not happy that OBD2 is used for things that it isn't really designed for, like having real-time vehicle data - such as speed, RPM, turbo pressure and all the other parameters one might be interested of - shown to driver via third-party OBD adapters (like ELM327-bluetooth modules everyone loves) and third-party software (like any suitable software you can install on your phone).

So they plan to limit "free" OBD2 access to stand still only. You could still get error codes and everything via third party tools, but only when car is not moving.

All other data would go through authorized (cloud) server, and you might still be able to access it via third party tools. It just won't be really free data any more, and certainly not real time.

If this really gains traction, I know a lot of people that won't be happy about this. Me, I don't really care (I don't use these features of OBD2, although I have considered it), but I do think that this is a step in very wrong (more closed) direction either way.
