Event recording has nothing to do with seeing where your speeding.
Then again, don't the new computers in cars like Porsche and Lotus record every bit of the RPM usage so they can use it as a means to deny warranty coverage? Don't know. |
It seems you don't know a lot. In it's very basic form, it records your speed for a few moments before you unavoidably T-bone the vehicle that just illegally pulled out in your path. With the data from this EDR, the law tickets
you for the accident (because you were doing 4mph over the limit), and the family sues
you for the injury/death of their loved one who ran the stop sign/didn't look/was talking on the cell phone/etc.
While the first step of EDR doesn't report your location and speed constantly to your local sherriff's office, it is a significant first step in the process to do so.
Don't think it's possible? Did you ever think you were going to have to check your hair gel before you boarded your next flight?
