Event Data Recorder - Supported Vehicle List
I will debate part of what the previous poster said, in that EDRs are technically optional, as there doesn't seem to be any US law that requires them.
But automakers benefit from the data they provide, so I'd expect just about every new car contains one.
We know for a fact Tesla, for example, uses Video Event Data Recorders, and they have near total access to any footage recorded by the vehicle at any time. That's one big reason I'd never buy one.
