Depends on the manufacturer. Even so, there is a difference between authorities collecting data from a crash, and transmitting it to a 3rd part constantly.
If you rear end a bus of nuns you have much larger problems than your data recorder.
What if it’s a Div I girl’s lacrosse team?
Even worse those young women carry sticks and know how to use them.
I sure wish more cars had that so at least when the driver is texting they won't run into me.
Actually yes. Toyota started implementing Event Data Recorder’s in 2001. By 2003 the Camry, Camry Solara, Echo, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, RAV4, Sienna, Prius, and Highlander all had EDR’s.
that is one reason I just sold my 2020 chevy hd
Why am I reminded of this meme?
That lasted about a month for me. Gotta love night shift, permanently driving in the “highest risk” time zones and their arbitrarily low threshold for “hard braking” drove me nuts behind the the whole spying thing. 8mph/second is hardly “hard” braking
That and you probably got close to what you paid or even made money on it. Do tell the "other reasons"......
Not really, paid 51K in 2019, sold for 45K......got my moneys worth to your point.
Pretty hard to argue that somewhere in the 2000-2010 timeframe, closer maybe to the middle, cars were made using hardware and not software, and here in 2023, they seem to be lasting. The countless YouTubes with x00,000 miles…5,6, etc.
I had a 2018 Silverado and the paint was beyond terrible. I understand GM has a new paint facility that came online. Maybe that will help. Yes-you did well on resale. That's a good thing about trucks.
Just pit them and get them off the HW. I thank you.
Funny in the old days the cops would look at your broken head light, if the filament as intact they would notate " headlight not on at time of collision, 47 mins past sunset. No skid marks brakes never applied.
Actually you can set driver profiles in some and if you record enough data on driving habits it wouldn't be too hard to figure out who is driving and when.
