Nissan Ariya: Event Data Recorders (EDR)
Basic information
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding 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:
- How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
- Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/ fastened;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
- How fast the vehicle was traveling.
- Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer and NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data will only be accessed with the consent of the vehicle owner or lessee or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
Additional data recording
If your vehicle is equipped with one of the optional ProPILOT Assist systems, it will also be equipped with supplemental data recording functionality intended to assist in understanding how ProPILOT Assist performs in certain nontrivial crash or near-crash scenarios. The ProPILOT Assist systems do not record conversations, sounds, or images of inside of the vehicle.
Supplemental recording is designed to capture items such as the following:
For ProPILOT Assist
- Driver operational status of the accelerator, brakes, steering, etc.
- Detection status of a vehicle ahead and lane markers
- Vehicle information including distance to vehicle ahead and lateral position
- Information on the operation of the ProPILOT Assist and other crash avoidance features
- ProPILOT Assist malfunction diagnosis information
- External images from the multisensing front camera (Available only when the SRS air bag or AEB with Pedestrian Detection system is activated)
For ProPILOT Assist 2.0
- Driver operational status of the accelerator, brakes, steering, etc.
- Detection status of direction of the driver's face and opening/closing of the driver's eyelids
- Information on the operation of the ProPILOT Assist 2.0 and other crash avoidance features
- Detection status of a vehicle ahead and lateral position, lane markers and road structure
- Vehicle information including the vehicle speed, the vehicle position (from GNSS), etc
- External images from the multisensing front camera (Available only when the SRS air bag or AEB with Pedestrian Detection system is activated)
To read this supplemental data, special equipment is required. This supplemental data will only be accessed pursuant to the terms and conditions you acknowledge during the enrollment process or through the vehicle's head unit, or as otherwise required or permitted by law. If downloaded, NISSAN and third party vendors entrusted by NISSAN may use the data recorded for the purpose of improving NISSAN's vehicle safety performance.
NISSAN and third party vendors entrusted by NISSAN will not disclose/provide the recorded data to another third party except:
- With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee
- In response to an official request from law enforcement, court order, governmental agency, or other legally enforceable request
- For research purposes after the data is modified such that it is no longer tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner (anonymized)
- For use as part of NISSAN's defense in litigation.
In the USA: Data collected could vary based on applicable law. If you have any questions regarding the data NISSAN may collect or disclose about you, please consult the Terms and Conditions of the applicable program and visit our Privacy Policy at https://www.nissanusa.com/privacy.html
