Most new cars in the United States (over 70-90%) come equiped with Event Data Recorders (EDRs) .大部分新车在美国（超过70-90 ％ ）配备了事件数据记录器（ EDRs ） 。
EDRs record various data from model to model, but most record the speed, brake pressure, direction or movement, among other things, several seconds before a car is involved in an accident. EDRs记录各种数据模型，模型，但大多数记录的速度，制动压力，或运动的方向，除其他外，几秒钟之前，一辆汽车正在参与事故。 Data from EDRs has already been used in court cases changing verdicts both in favor and against car drivers.数据EDRs已经被用来在法庭改变判决的案件都赞成和反对车司机。
Does your car have an EDR?请问您的车有一个增强数据率？ See below, but since car maufacturers aren’t required to let you know if you have one, there is no way to tell for sure.见下文，但由于汽车maufacturers不需要让你知道如果有，就没有办法告诉是肯定的。 Check your owners manual.检查您的业主手册。 Toyota and some other companies disclose the information voluntarily to their customers.丰田和其他一些公司的信息披露自愿为他们的客户。
10 states, beginning with California in 2004, are passing laws obliging automakers to tell buyers if their vehicles have recorders; the laws also restrict the downloading of data without car owners’ consent. 10个州开始，加州在2004年，是通过法律迫使汽车制造商告诉买家，如果他们的车辆有录音机的法律还限制了下载的数据没有车主的同意。 Eleven other states are considering similar legislation. 11个其他国家正在考虑类似的立法。
Personally, I think EDRs are a good idea and will cut back on insurance fraud and other cases where you get hit and you get the drop.我个人认为EDRs是一个不错的主意，将减少保险欺诈和其他情况下，你打击，你会得到下降。 Planes have them, and cars crash all the time, don’t you think this data is valuable??他们的飞机，和汽车碰撞的时候， 你不觉得这个数据是有价值的？ ？
This isn’ta comprehensive list FYI - because on doesn’t exist 这不是一个全面的清单供参考-因为不存在 
So, does your car have an EDR?所以，你的车有一个增强数据率？ I plan to call Honda, just to find out about mine.我计划请本田，只是为了了解地雷。
