See this Detroit News article for far more detail (cannot be posted per FR rules)

On down the short article it says:

…it has been used by law enforcement officials and insurance companies for the purposes of civil and criminal court cases.

Wonder when they will hook up these black boxes to GPS and cellular towers.

“Please note your “courtesy expiration light” will come on at 75,000 miles. At which time you will have 5000 miles left on your vehicle safety expiration, to return your vehicle for the required purchase of an EPA certified electric health and safety vehicle.”

My new 2011 F-150 has one of these installed.

Tells whether seat belts were in use; how fast before the event; where the driver was positioning the steering wheel just before the event; when were brakes applied before the event.

And lots of wonderful other stuff!

If they do the black boxes should only be accessible by the OWNER OF THE EFFING CAR and nobody else.

It’s your damn car.

And you should have the option of NOT having one. so I say NO to big brother. Eff off.

I already have a dash cam I chose to put there so I can record what goes on in front of my car. I travel alone most of the time and I have no desire for someone to stop short in front of me and claim I rear-ended them.

More Government Compulsion.

Free Men need not ask permission, I suppose we are no longer free men.

Another Government agency that has outlived any usefulness and is no longer needed.

Known as 'black-boxes' the recorders collect vehicle data in the moments leading up to during, and after a crash

I haven't had a chargeable accident in 30+ years. Screw 'em. (Yes, my insurance is really cheap.)

Once again a prime example of a federal agency running roughshod over Congress.
Congress should just close itself down if federal agencies can make law.

Dear Impeachable scum government politicians and unaccountable regulators. I will either disable, remove or otherwise ruin this box. I will not allow you to track me, or anything else and constantly invade my privacy with your ever bigger brother eyes.

These “black Boxes” are ALREADY in modern cars. Have been since about the model year 2000.

Unlike aircraft 'black-boxes' the vehicle data recorders do not make audio recordings.

Yet.
