That's what is tough to balance. It is true that not all vehicles are as technology-driven as Teslas, but vehicles do use a lot more digital technology. Just look at the sales figures over the past few years, and you'll see that local garages weren't exactly short on business—quite the contrary. Over a 10‑year period, aftermarket shop sales grew by 112%. For dealers, sales went up by 89%. There was clear, documented economic growth, and CASIS contributed to that.
I want to say this again: I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not familiar with all the legal mechanisms that would help achieve the desired outcome. However, I think we need to encourage new manufacturers or those who embrace digital technology, and look for ways to engage them in the platform. As we've seen, it has led to success. This type of approach saves consumers time and helps avoid situations like what happened in Massachusetts. As I mentioned earlier, after the state brought in pretty rigid legislation, manufacturers suddenly started playing by their own rules, removing certain parts from their vehicles, behaving in a more hostile manner and so forth.
I'm here to tell you that we did experience some success. I had the opportunity to read Mr. Rosborough's article. In it, he talks about the wins achieved through CASIS and the fact that it was ahead of its time, although it's not perfect.
In short, the concerns are certainly valid, but I think there are more ways to address the issue through CASIS than not.
