Insurance companies cannot force customers to reveal EDR data by threatening to revoke their insurance policies.
Owner’s manuals for cars made on and after 2007 must disclose the presence of the black box, as well as its technical capabilities.
The EDR data belongs to the person who owned the vehicle when the data was collected.
