- Occupant count and seatbelt engagement status

- Estimated repair costs (USD)

- Structural deformation probability assessment

- Injury risk analysis (whiplash potential, expected recovery time)

- Comparative g-force benchmarks from daily activities

*Injury risk modeling incorporates recorded accelerometer data, peer-reviewed research, and NASS collision databases

LEGAL STATUS OF EDR DATA ACCESS

Canada: No specific legislation—EDR data classified as diagnostic information; insurers typically obtain owner consent as industry standard.

United States: The 2015 Driver Privacy Act establishes federal guidelines for EDR data ownership (vehicle owner/lessee) and access restrictions. Seventeen states maintain additional regulations—Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington—typically requiring owner consent for data retrieval with specified

exceptions.
