Information -> Event Data Recorder EDR for your BMW i8 2014-2020

Information  
NOTES  
Any collection, processing, and use of personal  
data above and beyond that needed to provide  
the services must always be based on a legal  
permission, contractual arrangement or consent.  
It is also possible to activate or deactivate the  
data connection as a whole. That is, with the ex‐  
ception of functions and services required by law  
such as Assist systems.  
This data can help provide a better understand‐  
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and  
injuries occur.  
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a  
nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data is re‐  
corded by the EDR under normal driving condi‐  
tions and no personal data, for instance name,  
gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.  
However, other parties, such as law enforce‐  
ment, could combine the EDR data with the type  
of personally identifying data routinely acquired  
during a crash investigation.  
Services from other providers  
When using online services from other providers,  
these services are the responsibility of the rele‐  
vant provider and subject to their data privacy  
conditions and terms of use. The vehicle manu‐  
facturer has no influence on the content ex‐  
changed during this process. Information on the  
way in which personal data is collected and used  
in relation to services from third parties, the  
scope of such data, and its purpose, can be ob‐  
tained from the relevant service provider.  
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip‐  
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the  
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu‐  
facturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,  
that have the special equipment, can read the in‐  
formation if they have access to the vehicle or  
the EDR.  
Vehicle identification number  
Event Data Recorder EDR  
Front passenger seat  
This vehicle is equipped with an event data re‐  
corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to  
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa‐  
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a  
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand‐  
ing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The  
EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle  
dynamics and safety systems for a short period  
of time, typically 30 seconds or less.  
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record  
such data as:  
The vehicle identification number can be found  
under a cover under the front passenger seat.  
How various systems in your vehicle were op‐  
erating.  
Whether or not the driver and passenger  
safety belts were fastened.  
How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the  
accelerator and/or brake pedal.  
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
