My understanding is also that the EDR is like a "black box" recorder on an aircraft. It is logging data of a kind above and beyond error codes, including what's going on in the cabin (e.g., whether or not there is a passenger sitting on the passenger seat).
Could they tell there was a snowplow on the road at the time of the incident? I don't know. Can some cars tell where the curb is and park themselves? Yes.

It only knows what the car knows. Does your car know what types of vehicles you're following and what the weather is?
