Our web site
http://www.harristechnical.com/cdr.htm
has a lot of information on Event Data Recorders for cars including a list of all cars so equipped, explanations of what is recorded, when data is recorded, how it is recorded and how it is retrieved. A free preview of a documentary video on EDRs is on-line.
A list of court cases where EDR evidence was introduced in the US and Canada is posted.
The list of vehicles equipped with EDRs on our site is current and complete so far as these are the vehicles with EDRs that can be downloaded with the equipment manufactured by the Vetronix Corp. for GM and Ford vehicles.
Other vehicle makers have some sort of EDR on board but that data can only be recovered by factory reps, not the police or the private accident reconstructionist. The extent and type of data in other maker's EDRs is not widely available.
