These plans go far beyond just recording data to be examined in the case of a crash, however. This is for tracking you wherever you are on earth. You can expect to show up on video or in photos if you travel major routes that are covered with cameras, but new black boxes will tell Them where your car is at every moment.
I imagine someone could develop quite a lucrative business in disabling or miscalibrating these.
Black box "swap meets" could be the wave of the future. Just show up, pay a fee, and your black box is swapped with one out of the next car in line, totally at random. The swap would never be discovered until Uncle Snooper actually tried to track you...
