corded by the EDR under normal driving condi‐
tions and no personal data, e. g., name, gen‐
der, age, and crash location, are recorded.

ment, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac‐
quired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehi‐
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve‐
hicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment,
can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
Vehicle identification

The vehicle identification number can be found
in the engine compartment.
The vehicle identification number can also be
found behind the windshield.
