Considerando che potrei dimenticarmelo, intanto copio e incollo qui il relativo capitolo dal LUM on line (purtroppo non disponibile in italiano sulla versione di fine serie che ho io, comunque il traduttore Google rende discretamente bene i concetti chiave).
La vettura è stata prodotta a dicembre 2019 (acquistata a novembre 2020), non ha il servizio di chiamata d'emergenza che era optional all'epoca, e la connettività tramite apposita app è facoltativa (si basa sull'eventuale connessione dati dello smartphone o di una chiavetta, quindi è lasciata totalmente alla volontà dell'utente)
Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder. The main task of an event data recorder is to record data in particular accident scenarios or situations which are similar to an accident, e.g. when the airbags are triggered or when there is a collision with an obstacle on the road. These data help in analysis of how a vehicle system behaved in these situations. The event data recorder records data relating to driving dynamics and the restraint system for a short period of ten seconds or less. This information includes, for example:
- how various systems in your vehicle have functioned.
- whether the seat belts of the driver and front passenger were fastened.
- the extent to which the driver pressed the brake or accelerator pedal.
- how fast the vehicle was travelling.
These data help to obtain a better understanding of the circumstances in the situations where accidents and injuries have occurred.
Data from driver assist systems are also recorded. In addition to information about whether the systems were switched on or off, available only to a restricted extent or inactive, it is also possible to determine whether these functions steered, accelerated or braked the vehicle in the above-described situations. Depending on the vehicle equipment, these systems include the following:
- adaptive cruise control.
- lane keeping system.
- Park Assist.
- emergency braking function.
The data of the event data recorder are recorded only if a particular situation occurs which is similar to an accident. No recordings occur under normal driving conditions. Audio or video data from the vehicle interior or vehicle surroundings are not stored. Personal data such as name, gender, age or accident location are also not recorded at any time. However, third parties such as law enforcement agencies can use appropriate means to link the content of the event data recorder with other sources of data and thus establish a reference to persons as part of an accident investigation.
In order to read the data in the event data recorder you need the necessary special equipment, a connection to the legally required diagnostic interface (on-board diagnosis) and the ignition must be switched on.
Volkswagen will not access, read or process data from the event data recorder unless the vehicle owner (or lessee in the case of leasing) grants their permission. Exceptions to this are contractual or legal provisions.
Due to its legal product monitoring obligations, Volkswagen is entitled to use the data for field monitoring and also for research purposes and quality improvements. For research purposes, Volkswagen makes the data available to third parties in anonymous form, in other words without any reference to the individual vehicle, vehicle owner or lessee.
