It is. Mass resident here. When the groups against this law were campaigning, they televised very creepy PSAs explaining this farcical point, to scare residents into voting against it. One I remember in particular was a POV shot of a man stalking a woman in a parking garage on her way to her vehicle.
> open access "allows for manipulation of systems on a vehicle, including safety-critical functions such as steering, acceleration, or braking."
I assume this is just FUD, but if true it raises another question: why are braking, acceleration, and steering manipulable in real-time through network-facing software?
