Since the degree of intelligence of vehicles has increased rapidly in recent years, its complex electronic control systems, auxiliary driving systems, etc., are often prone to electronic control system failures, driver misoperation, network information safety hazards, etc. However, whether it is the driver's misoperation or the problem of the driving system, there is still no good basis for judging, so it has also led to a series of Rashomon incidents such as Tesla's "brake failure".
Therefore, in the ministry of industry and information technology's newly revised "technical conditions for the safety of motor vehicle operation", we can see such a clause: from January 1, 2022, newly produced passenger cars must be equipped with an event data recording system (EDR), if equipped with an on-board video driving record system, it is also in line with the requirements.
The on-board video driving record system required by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can be simply understood as a driving recorder superimposed with a frame number watermark, which everyone understands, so I will not repeat it here, because today's main talk is still about the new term EDR (Event Data Recording System).
EDR can be interpreted as a car black box in easy-to-understand terms, and its main role is to record the key data of the operation in the three stages of the vehicle before, during and after the collision, such as the speed of the vehicle, the acceleration of the collision, the steering angle of the steering wheel and the state of the engine, the driving assistance system, and the driver's reaction when the event occurs. All in all, the information recorded by EDR can help professionals reproduce the accident process, which can be used in automotive accident analysis to distinguish whether it is a driver's operation error or a driving system failure, preventing a fight between the car company and the consumer.
Previously, the mainland's EDR is mostly used in the field of commercial vehicles, most of the installation of the system on passenger cars rely on the consciousness of the main engine factory, according to relevant information, in 2020, the new cars equipped with EDR equipment in the domestic new car are only 1.3571 million, the market penetration rate is only 7.12%, in addition to BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and other luxury brands, only Xiaopeng, BYD, Weilai and a few other independent brands are equipped.
Therefore, many consumers who are ready to buy a car can't help but worry after seeing the news that EDR is forced to get on the car, the wool is out of the sheep, and they feel that the car companies will calculate the cost of EDR on their own, afraid that the gain is not worth the loss. On this point, Xiaobian privately thought that there was no need to worry at all.
On the one hand, the EDR system has been applied on a large scale around the world, and the United States has required new cars to be equipped with EDR since 2014, and the penetration rate of new cars in the United States has reached 99% in 2019. In South Korea, both stock and new cars, EDR will be mandatory in December 2015. On the other hand, according to Cui Dongshu, deputy secretary-general of the Association, the cost of the EDR system is relatively low, that is, the concept of 300-500 yuan, and it is believed that manufacturers can overcome the impact of this piece and will not increase the cost of car purchase for consumers.
Finally, everyone is worried about the privacy security issues, currently known car companies, only Tesla's EDR data is encrypted, if there is no manufacturer authorization and professional tools will be difficult to decipher, interpretation, so everyone's concern is not unreasonable, I hope that the follow-up Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can clarify the ownership and use of EDR-related data, and thus avoid leaking user information.
However, everyone also knows that in the Internet era, our identity information has long been leaked, and xiaobian has also received harassing calls when writing, so as long as your car machine system is networked, there will inevitably be a risk of privacy leakage. So for EDR mandatory boarding, as consumers, do you support or oppose?
