    "Vehicle data recording

    and privacy

    Event data recorders

    The vehicle has a number of

    sophisticated systems that monitor

    and control several vehicle data.

    Some data may be stored during

    regular operation to facilitate repair of

    detected malfunctions, other data is

    stored only in a crash or near crash

    event by systems commonly called

    event data recorders (EDR).

    The systems may record data about

    the condition of the vehicle and how it

    was operated (e.g. engine speed,

    brake application, seat belt usage).

    To read this data special equipment

    and access to the vehicle is required.

    This will take place when the vehicle

    is serviced in a workshop. Some data

    is electronically fed into global

    diagnostic systems. The

    manufacturer will not access

    information about a crash event or

    share it with others except

    ? with the consent of the vehicle

    owner or, if the vehicle is leased,

    with the consent of the lessee,

    ? in response to an official request of

    police or similar government office,

    ? as part of the manufacturer?s

    defense in case of legal

    proceedings,

    ? as required by law.

    In addition, the manufacturer may use

    the collected or received data

    ? for the manufacturer's research

    needs,

    ? to make it available for research

    needs where appropriate

    confidentiality is maintained and

    need is shown,

    ? to share summary data which is not

    tied to a specific vehicle with other

    organisations for research

    purposes."
