Data from driver assist systems are also re-
corded. In addition to information about
whether the systems were switched on or
off, available only to a restricted extent or in-
active, it is also possible to determine wheth-
er these functions steered, accelerated or
braked the vehicle in the above-described sit-
uations. Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, these systems include the following:
— adaptive cruise control.
— lane keeping system.
— Park Assist.
— emergency braking function.
The data of the event data recorder are re-
corded only if a particular situation occurs
which is similar to an accident. No recordings
occur under normal driving conditions. Audio
or video data from the vehicle interior or ve-
hicle surroundings are not stored. Personal
data such as name, gender, age or accident
location are also not recorded at any time.
However, third parties such as law enforce-
ment agencies can use appropriate means to
link the content of the event data recorder
with other sources of data and thus establish
a reference to persons as part of an accident
investigation.
In order to read the data in the event data re-
corder you need the necessary special equip-
ment, a connection to the legally required di-
agnostic interface (on-board diagnosis) and
the ignition must be switched on.
Volkswagen will not access, read or process
data from the event data recorder unless the
vehicle owner (or lessee in the case of leas-
ing) grants their permission. Exceptions to
this are contractual or legal provisions.
Due to its legal product monitoring obliga-
tions, Volkswagen is entitled to use the data
for field monitoring and also for research
purposes and quality improvements. For re-
search purposes, Volkswagen makes the data
available to third parties in anonymous form,
in other words without any reference to the
individual vehicle, vehicle owner or lessee.
