Don't all event data recorders, in every brand of car, decide to log events based on airbag deployment?

- iamtheworstdev 1y agoI hope not. I don't believe airbags aren't deployed when you're rearended, and some other circumstances.
- jeffbee 1y agoI looked up the American regs and they say record event if "non-reversible deployable restraint" was deployed ... or if the vehicle accelerated over a delta-V greater than 8km/h in 150ms. The regulatory record from 20 years ago is available at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/08/28/06-7094/event-data-recorders https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/08/28/06-7094...

It's mostly for debugging problems and preventing insurance fraud. The data can be pretty sparse depending on year/make/model. Like in the 90s it was little more than speed and throttle position.
