I think that you are correct and it is just around the corner.
EDR (Electronic Data Recorders) have been compulsory in the US for many years now.
In an event, such as airbag deployment, data is locked and recorded.
This gives information such as vehicle speed, attitude, brake pressure, any activation of ABS or airbags, whether seat belts are being worn etc. etc.
Worldwide, including Europe, are now following suit.
I was looking at a list of vehicles, produced by Bosch. The list is huge, but, as an example, you only have to look at A&B to realise that Audi and BMW models are either EDR compliant, or will be by next year in 2022.
The other thing is if a vehicle has a factory fitted infotainment system.
This will enable information to be captured and transmitted, such as where you have been, what calls you have made/received and even what music you have been listening to!
Big brother is now looming.
