Obama wants black boxes in all new cars

"The Department of Transportation is considering requiring automobiles to be equipped with the accident recorders that are used on airplanes.
The "event data recorders," or black boxes, as they are most often called, are used by investigators to determine the circumstances that led to crashes, even when vehicles are destroyed before they are recovered.

From what I understand, from other articles, those black boxes have already been in our vehicles for quite some time. Those computers that control your car, that need to be scanned for inspection purposes, are the black boxes. The Govt is basically jumping on the bandwagon here so they can have their fingers in the pie too.
