Although it could be used as evidence. But there are a lot of other pieces of evidence in a car crash that help to determine fault. I would say perhaps the single most valuable piece of information it could record to determine fault would be speed of travel. Toyota would argue with you that it shouldn't be used to reconstruct an accident. <br>
<br></div>As for mandatory open, in some way I feel forcing open content is just as bad as allowing closed. The manufacturer should have the right to make their systems open or not, we have the right as the consumer to buy or not buy. <br>

Just discovered my Toyota truck has a "black box," a data recorder in it. How can I disable that <censored> and still have the truck work?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
