Default EDR: Event Data Recorders
EDR: Event Data Recorders:

Article in Feb Popular Science mentions that installation of EDR is mandatory for all cars and trucks in the 2013 model year. Recent news article mentions a state employee driving a state owned vehicle was in an accident and the EDR disproved the drivers statement on seat belt, speed, etc. Being a state owned vehicle, no mention of any legalities in obtaining the recorded data. Appears there is a grey area in the law on whether the driver can or cannot control the access to the EDR, or requires a Court order, or cannot be used.
