Federal Government May Require More Sophisticated "Black Boxes" in Cars

The U.S. National Research Council has recommended that all automobiles be fitted with event data recorders or "black boxes" similar to the ones used by the airline industry.  Although many automobiles and commercial vehicles are currently fitted with event data recorders related to air bag deployment and certain engine data, the recommendations could prompt the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration to require more sophisticated devices in automobiles and other vehicles. Such devices could aid investigators in determining the cause of accidents.  For more information on this issue, see the link below.
