"In the next few days, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration is expected to propose long-delayed regulations
requiring auto manufacturers to include event data recorders — better
known as "black boxes" — in all new cars and light trucks. . . When a
car is involved in a crash or when its airbags deploy, inputs from the
vehicle's sensors during the 5 to 10 seconds before impact are
automatically preserved. That's usually enough to record things like
how fast the car was traveling and whether the driver applied the
brake, was steering erratically or had a seat belt on."

Seems as tho breathalyzers would be good since too many idiots drink, drive
and kill other people. They get off in court and go do it again.
