Like aircraft many newer vehicles have black boxes, which record various conditions of the vehicles, such as speed, brake application, acceleration and engine speeds. This information can be used in case of an accident or in estimating when certain parts on the car may fail and thus such information is of supreme value. But what if all vehicles collected the data the same way?
What if all vehicles had similar software and it did not matter if you owned a BMW, Ford or Honda, it would all be the same? Well that would sure help things wouldn’t it? In fact a police officer at the scene could simply go up to the car and take a reading of what happened right before the accident you see? How so you ask?
