[General] vehicle black boxes

[WebDawg]

Why not?  An undocumented box that police and insurance companies use to
tell if you are at fault.  Who even knows if it works correctly and even
gives real true data.

Its like the voting machine thing.

Something like this should be mandatory open, not locked up to protect car
manufactures.
