Legal requirements regarding the disclosure of data
To the extent that legal regulations exist, manufacturers are obliged to release information
stored by them, at the request of public authorities, to the extent required on a case-by-case
basis (e.g., when a criminal offence is being investigated).
Public authorities are also permitted to read the data from vehicles in specific cases, within
the scope of applicable law. For example, in the event of an accident, information can be
read from the air bag control unit to help clarify the circumstances of the accident.
Operational data on the vehicle
Control units process data in order to operate the vehicle.
These include, for example:

vehicle status information (e.g., speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration, wheel speed,
seatbelt usage indicator),

environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, rain sensor, distance sensor).
These data are generally volatile and are not stored beyond the operating time, and only
processed on the vehicle itself. Control units frequently contain data storage media. These
can be used to document, either temporarily or permanently, information about the condition
of the vehicle, component stress, maintenance requirements and technical events and
failures.
The following information may be stored, depending on the technical configuration:

operating conditions of system components (e.g., fill levels, tyre pressures and battery
status),

malfunctions and defects in important system components (e.g., lighting and brakes),

response of the system to extraordinary driving situations (e.g., deployment of an air bag,
activation of stability control systems),

information on events in which the vehicle is damaged,

for electric vehicles, the state of charge of the high-voltage battery and the vehicle’s
estimated range.
