Apparently, legislators are seriously misinformed about the capabilities of (and regulations on) EDRs currently being installed in motor vehicles.

Manufacturers are, in fact, already required to provide notice to consumers in their owner's manuals per NHTSA's Part 563. And, 13 states have already enacted legislation with regard to Ownership Rights, as well as Criminal Repercussions for unauthorized access.

If you would like to read more about the Part 563 Ruling, you can find a summary here:

Or, if you want to read the various state laws on EDRs, you can find them here:

Vehicle installed EDRs ARE NOT constantly recording your activities, nor do any of them track "personal identification information", such as your name, address, etc... Even when a vehicle's EDR records information, it does not record information such as location, date, time, etc...

The only thing an EDR will ever provide is an impartial account of the circumstances surrounding a collision.
