LONDON—The Dutch government’s forensic lab said on Thursday it had decrypted electric carmaker Tesla Inc’s closely guarded driving data-storage system, uncovering a wealth of information that could be used to investigate serious accidents.

It was already known that Tesla cars store data from accidents, but the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) said it had discovered far more data than investigators had previously been aware of.
