The holy grail of the SDV is the Vehicle Abstraction Layer. Mercedes provides open source documentation and code examples for reading CAN bus data (speed, tire pressure, wiper status) via REST APIs. This allows fleet managers and tech startups to build telematics solutions without reverse engineering the vehicle.
