Data Recorders In Your Car
Wow, I had no idea they had these in production already.
Data Recorders In Your Car

Last Updated: May 14, 2003
Data recorders that work like those on commercial airliners are now standard equipment on most cars, they have been for several years. Two court cases are putting the information found on two black boxes to work for prosecutors in Florida and right here.
Edwin Mantos' trial began Wednesday in Broward County Florida. He's accused of running his Trans-Am into two teenage girls last August killing them. Data downloaded from his car's black box showed he was going 114 mph just before he hit them.
Diana Santi was killed in a car accident and the other driver, Manuel Martinez, survived and now faces a number of charges including murder. Metro did its usual crash investigation, but this time they took it further.
Plugging into what's often called a black box, the event data recorder is underneath the front passenger seat console or dash, as many as 40 million cars on the road have one. It's the brain that monitors and controls the car's airbag. But it also holds a wealth of information that can be used in accident reconstructions, engine speed, gas pedal pressure, brakes, and vehicle speed.
The SUV that Manuel Martinez was driving had a black box that revealed electronic secrets to investigating officer Mario Alfonsi. The SUV accelerated to 78 mph one second before impact according to the black box. Chief deputy DA Gary Booker is prosecuting Martinez.
The SUV's black box is giving him the backing evidence he feels will help him put Martinez away. Booker is looking to place blame and this will be the first time this kind of evidence is used in trial in Clark County.

I think the next electronic device to be sold should be just like MIL eliminators for the black boxes. plug it in and it will not record any data that can be used to incriminate you later.
Anyone remember when the feds wanted to install black boxes that would actually transmit your speed of the last 30 seconds to roadside receivers? This way they could narrow down exactly what car was speeding by your VIN. I remember reading about it a couple of years ago.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.
