With more and more electronics and sensors getting into cars these days, it would be great if we can have a "black Box" - equivalent of what is available in aircrafts in automobiles. If there are accidents, one could do a quick analysis and check the cause of the accident - was it brake failure or the driver not applying brakes etc.. Quite a boon for India where the number of road accidents are high. Insurance agencies would love to get their hands on this kind of data..

Makes sense? When do you think this would become a reality??? Thoughts?
