Yes, they said the car had a black box and they were going to look at it to get the relevant information.

All (I think) new cars have computers which remember the last 10 seconds or so before a major malfunction, in order to help diagnose problems. This means if you have an accident where the air bags go off, they will know how fast you were going.

Well if they admitted he was going 91 mph, I wonder how fast he was REALLY going.

I could have used one when the cop pulled me over to make his quota. Said I was speeding when I knew I wasn't. He said he got me on his radar in an area before the intersection I pulled into. But since I was alone I had no witness, which is why he pulled me over, I was alone.
