The EDR-DSSAD informal group approved definitions for detected objects and recording parameters, established language for power and communication failures, and agreed to a -2.5-second to 300-millisecond recording interval for rollover events. Discussions on fire-resistant data storage and automated emergency braking recording intervals remain unresolved. The group deferred decisions on EDR requirements for automated driving systems pending further analysis of overlap with DSSAD regulations.

Event data recorders shall record critical crash-related parameters shortly before, during and immediately after a collision, including vehicle speed, braking, position, tilt, and state of safety systems. Data shall be anonymised, protected against manipulation, operate on a closed-loop system, and be made available to national authorities only for accident research and analysis. Automated vehicles and fully automated vehicles shall comply with technical specifications for event data recorders. Discussion topics include whether recording requirements should be adapted for ADS-driven vehicles, whether ADS-specific data elements such as timestamp data should be recorded, and related issues.
