Airbag black box crash data......you need to know this
GM and Saturn cars record crash data. You can often get the last 5 seconds
of vehicle data. Dealers are not able to collect the crash data. You need the Vetronix CDR, it can be seen here- http://www.airbagcrash.com Any questions about the crash data, black boxes etc. We will try to answer. |

Looks interesting what data it provides. Should help to keep the lawyers
happy. AIR BAG SDM / BLACK BOX / CRASH DATA AVAILABLE (depending on year and model) Vehicle speed (in five one-second intervals preceding impact) Engine speed (in five one-second intervals preceding impact) Brake status (in five one-second intervals preceding impact) Throttle position (in five one-second intervals preceding impact) Driver's seat belt state (On/Off) Passenger's airbag enabled or disabled state (On/Off) Airbag Warning Lamp status (On/Off) Time from vehicle impact to airbag deployment Maximum Delta-V for near-deployment event Delta-V vs. time for frontal airbag deployment event Time from vehicle impact to time of maximum Delta-V Time between near-deploy and deploy event (if within 5 seconds) I'm surprised that they didn't include steering angle but not all cars have steering angle sensors. Now, if they just add the cockpit voice recorder... Remember the old joke about the ntsb doing a study of crashes in pickup trucks and installing cockpit voice recorders. In over 80% of the crashes, the last words recorded were, "Hey Y'all, watch this!" or "Hold my beer for me..."

My brother once mused that all cars should be equipped with black boxes
which are polled by your municipality once a year. They calculate all the speeding tickets you should have got during the year, and send you a bill. Ta-dahh!

Just as electronic dashboards have spawned a black market for tools that
will re-program the odometer, there will eventually be a tool that will re-program or erase the black box. Amazing things happen when there is money at stake. A friend who was a shop foreman at a car dealer (who routinely turned back mechanical odometers) offered me big bucks to make him a tool to do the same with electronic odometers. I'm pretty sure that I could have come up with something eventually but the fines just didn't justify the risk. Not to mention, it just isn't nice to tamper. Of course, the brute force method is if you get in a serious crash which you are at fault (and are still conscious enough), rip out the SIR module and chuck it before the police arrive.

You forgot the argument that not all streets and roads have the same speed limit. If all they did was check your speed at certain times there would be no way to tell what speed zone you were in. |
