In order for this to work, the phone must already be tracking it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Via event data recorders<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Event data recorders (EDR), also known as &#8220;black boxes,&#8221; are found in nearly all new vehicles.

EDRs have a much smaller scope of application than any of the other tools featured here. Your driving habits aren&#8217;t tracked or transmitted in any other way by these devices.
