DOES MY CAR HAVE A BLACK BOX? HOW WOULD I KNOW? WHERE IS IT?
If your car is a model from this century, there’s a fair chance you do indeed, have a black box fitted somewhere within it. Black boxes have been in some of the major American car brands, like Buick, Chevy and Cadillac, since all the way back to 1994. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been using them to collect car accident data since early in the 2000s. If your car is from 2013 or later, you are almost guaranteed to have a black box. Less than 5 percent of new cars came without one in 2013, and they are mandated in all new vehicles since 2014.
Well that is disconcerting. So my spouse’s vehicle probably has a black box, despite it being low tech. Ptuiiii. And the link to find a list of vehicles is dead in that article, so I can’t look up mine. :(
Thank you for that information. I’ll try to drive my 2001 Miata more in the good weather and the 2021 Honda less, unless I get my 2009 Honda back. If they’re collecting this information, it’s only a matter of time until they start using it against us. Of course, under the Great Reset, they’ll find a way to take my cars from me completely and make me drive an electric car, or just throw me in covid concentration camp where I won’t have to drive at all.
Oh PLEASE President Trump, hurry back to save me!
how do you get rid of your black box ?
