For the 2000 data collection year, variables were added to NASS to identify if a vehicle is equipped with an on board recorder and, if data was downloaded. USNHTSA. PC Magazine, April 2003, Vol 21 Issue 14 p 65. EDRs have the potential to capture a large number of crash-related and other data elements for a wide range of users with different data needs.

Although EDRs are expected to greatly enhance the investigation of a crash, it should be noted however that current EDRs are not perfect. R. June, 2001. By promoting MMUCC, the highway safety community is making an explicit statement that comparable data from all states is crucial to our ability to identify problems and make improvements. This represents a new source of objective data for the highway and vehicle safety community because it will provide a real-world connection between controlled test results and actual field performance of vehicles and highway design features.

Further, the agency believes this area presents some issues that are, at least for the present time, best addressed in a non -regulatory context. The data that is recorded and that can be read out and analyzed differs depending on the type of EDR that is installed in a particular vehicle and when the vehicle was manufactured.
