Explanation

The event data recorder (EDR) stores crucial information about how the vehicle was operating and its condition at key moments, such as before, during and after an accident. This is vital for accident investigation and for deciding who is responsible, in line with Spanish traffic rules that aim to improve road safety. Knowing the circumstances of a crash allows the authorities and insurers to make informed decisions based on accurate data.
