[Echoes]

Does anyone know if the new model Land and Range Rover have EDR's
"Event Data Recorder"


Interesting.

What triggered this question? To my knowledge, most air bag equipped vehicles have EDR capability. So I wouldn't expect Land Rover to be different.

"Other modules in your vehicle, event data recorders (EDR), are capable of collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the occupants, potentially including information such as:

- How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
- Whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were buckled;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the brake pedal;
- How fast the vehicle was traveling; and
- Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.

To access EDR information, special equipment must be directly connected to the recording modules. We do not access EDR information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or other third parties acting with lawful authority. Other parties may seek to access the information independently of us."

Thanks G. Saw an article on CNN and thought I would post it here for conversation.

Starting with 2011 models, all manufacturers must disclose whether their vehicles have EDR.

Ford products have them, so it's quite likely LR has them too.

I know my old Freelander when I was in Norway had one as the Sevice guy told me how many times I had opened the Bonnet of the car and I asked how and he mentioned it was recorded... that was nearly 18months ago

So bet my LR3 has a Big Brother
