U.S. cars will be equipped with black boxes required
Just as airplanes, cars can also be equipped with black boxes. Obviously, the reason is easily understood: in case of accident car assessment can be made easier. Thus, the insurer and the police can find out if a serious accident if the driver has pressed the brake, if he had a seatbelt if the car's safety systems worked, etc.. But to get it at that?
Next month, the National Administration for Traffic Safety (NHTSA) in the United States will determine whether vehicle owners will be forced to install black boxes on cars.
Devices similar to those used in aircraft, is expected to collect information about the last moments before impact, reports Wired.
The data collected will be consulted by the authorities, insurance companies and the automakers.
Black box can not be inactivated and, most likely the car owner will know few details about it.
Black box for cars has been created, since 2009, by Japan's Sharp, but also installing a device was not imposed in any country so far. Sharp black box has the capability to record up to six hours of travel.
The sensors used are sufficiently sensitive enough to capture clear images even in extreme conditions of a road at night illuminated only by the moon. The Sharp will be able to store all the parameters before running the accident and its outcome after road incident.
In Europe, black boxes are used especially in Germany and France. The Datenn Speisher Unfall (UDS) which translates Accident Data Recording is priced around 200 euros, and the box mounted under the passenger seat driver.
