Case spotlight 13
AEB failure allegation — feature availability ≠ EDR availability
02 / In this resource
Case question
Can an EDR prove that automatic emergency braking failed just because the vehicle has AEB?
03 / In this resource
What the evidence showed
An insurer asked whether a 2025 Honda HR-V EDR could establish an alleged automatic-braking failure. The vehicle had the feature, but the available EDR dataset did not record the specific AEB function needed to answer that allegation.

Practical takeaway
Never infer a recorded parameter from the presence of a vehicle feature. First verify exactly what that model-year EDR records; if the field is absent, say so.
This case summarizes the technical review in the underlying correspondence. It does not reproduce a case photograph or a model-specific EDR parameter table.
