According to the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's newly revised "Technical Conditions for the Safety of Motor Vehicle Operation", from January 1 this year, newly produced passenger cars are required to be equipped with EDR systems, that is, automobile event data recording systems. What does this system do? Why force an installation?
Car event data recording system, in simple terms, we can understand it as "the black box on the car". It is understood that the main role of this system is to record the driving data of the car at the critical moment of the accident, including driving speed, acceleration in collision and so on. The National Standard No. 2 of the "Technical Conditions for the Safety of Motor Vehicle Operation" was issued, stipulating that from January 1, 2022, all passenger cars in production will begin to implement mandatory installation of EDR. On the morning of the 17th, the reporter visited a number of 4S stores in Nanjing. The sales staff said that the new vehicles currently on sale meet the relevant requirements, are installed with EDR, and have not affected the price of the car. "There is no adjustment to the price of the new car for the time being, and the current manufacturer's policy is still the same as last year, and there is still room for preferential adjustment of the vehicle." Car salesman Manager Long said.
Mr. Gao, the owner of the car, said that he had paid attention to the relevant information of EDR before, and if the installation of this equipment would help determine the liability for accidents, it would definitely be a good thing for consumers. "This is a good thing, no accident is easy to say, some situations in the event of an accident will not be clear, the driving recorder sometimes can not say clearly, of course, there is this black box is good." The owner of the car, Mr. Gao, said.
Auto repair experts said that the data recorded by EDR covers the key data before, at the time of and after the accident of the vehicle. In the event of a traffic accident, the driver's act of stepping on the brake pedal in the accident, including deceleration and finally stopping, will be recorded. This facilitates the determination of liability for accidents. As long as the EDR data is retrieved afterwards, the causes and consequences of the accident can be basically reproduced. "Before there would have been controversy, whether it was the problem of the car or the driving habits, caused by misoperation, now there is monitoring, the speed acceleration at that time, the seat belt airbag, the cornering, other conditions, whether there is misoperation, brake throttle. The collection of these data plays a great role in determining the cause of the accident. Auto repair expert Xie Yiliu said.
Industry insiders said that after the mandatory installation of EDR, the rights and interests of several parties can be protected. For example, the failure caused by the sudden failure of the vehicle, the driver's operation error and the non-recognition afterwards, etc., will have enough evidence chain to confirm.
