NAC - Black box data in prosecution

[urq]

... yup, big brother's been out there for a while now in some cars ... the
manufacturer's like them for the CYA factor ... I think 'vettes may have
been one of the first to sport 'em.  Of course the primary motivation for
adding them is to help understand accidents and make things safer overall
... but it is just so easy to take things the next step.  Just think what
will happen with the GPS and BlueTooth are in there on the same CAN bus ...

While I don't think about it much, the fact that I know these boxes are in
use does tend to make me want to stiick with older vehicles ...
