I can see a cottage industry for modding automobile black boxes. Of
course there are already ways to hack automobile computers and I don't
think it's any great leap to the formation of black box hacking clubs
and widespread information and how-to's showing up on The Web. ^_^

This is being driven by the insurance companies, as part of their
effort
to determine and assign fault for so-called accidents (better
defined as
crashes, since the majority are preventable). They'll make a condition
of being insured that the data is available. You tamper the box, they
won't pay your claim.


You don't know a lot about hacking do you? The point of hacking is to
conceal the tampering. GPS recording can be handled with GPS jammers
which are available and not that expensive. ^_^

TDD

Hey Mr. Paranoid, these aren't GPS trackers. And the data is the
property of the vehicle's owner. AND over 90% of the vehicles on the
road _already_ have these installed.

JHC! WTF do you think is the basis for OnStar? I don't think you were
paying attention in class. ^_^
