Black box car idea opens can of worms; litigation advantages seen. But privacy issues are big worry
Article Abstract:
Some attorneys anticipate more rapid and accurate resolution of automobile accident liability cases with the General Motors Corp's new "black box" technology, while others voice privacy concerns. The technology indicates whether the driver's seat belt was latched at the time of the crash and how fast the car was going. Airline black boxes are heavily regulated by the federal government, while only crash data manufacturers want is on automobile black boxes.
