uations, suchasanairbag deployment or hitting
aroad obstacle,datathat will assist in under‐
standing howavehicle's systems performed.
The EDRisdesigned to recorddatarelated to
vehicle dynamics and safetysystems forashort
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

occurs; no dataisrecorded by theEDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gender, ageand accidentlocation) is
recorded.However, other parties, suchaslaw
enforcement,could combine EDR datawiththe
type of personally identifying dataroutinely
acquired during acrash investigation.

mentisrequired, and access to thevehicle or
theEDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle
manufacturer,other parties that have thespecial

theinformation by accessing thevehicle or the
EDR.
EDR data maybeused in civil and criminalmat‐
ters as atool in accident reconstruction, acci‐
dent claims and vehicle safety. Since theCrash
