"Right to Repair" Bill in Mass. Legislature Would Give You the Right to Fix Your Own Car

The Patriot-Ledger reports on a bill in the state legislature that would establish your right to fix your own car. Senate Bill 124/House Bill 228 would require auto manufacturers to disclose some of the computer code in the cars that they build, which would allow a wider pool of mechanics to work on the newer, more complicated vehicles, and would potentially end the monopoly held by "authorized dealers."
