  Transport sector is in the process of being rapidly and fundamentally
reshaped by autonomous and collaborative driving technologies. This reshaping
promises huge economic and social benefits as well as challenges in terms of
developing and deploying secure and safe transportations systems, their smooth
integration to social fabric. We have employed Policy Scan and Technology
Strategy Design methodology in order to identify concrete societal expectations
and problems and map them with mitigating technological availabilities in the
domain of autonomous driving and smart mobility.
  Event Data Recorder for Autonomous Driving (EDR/AD) is an envisioned
subsystem of a vehicular Controller Area Network which ensures the
confidentiality, integrity and availability of data related to operation of a
vehicle in order to permit recovery of exact situation following the occurrence
of an event or on demand. The exact technical and regulatory requirements for
the device are still in the development internationally, but it is clear that
it will be included into vehicle type-approval requirements at UNECE level. We
present an analysis of the context of the usage of the EDR/AD in collaborative
intelligent transport systems, related security, data provenance and privacy,
other regulatory and technical issues considering many interest groups and
stakeholders involved. We present a concrete proposal for developing a EDR/AD
proof of the concept prototype with clear market deployment potential and urge
security researchers, vehicle manufacturers, and component suppliers to form a
collaboration towards implementing important technology for making future
autonomous vehicles more socially acceptable and legally compliant.
Furthermore, EDR/AD technology, apart from its immediate use in autonomous
driving and smart mobility domain has a potential to be extended to general
autonomous robot and AI applications.
